This morning we woke up a little later than usual and, because we were trying to meet Mark and Kirstyn, we didn't get a chance to work out.
We first took the trolley to the Van Gogh Museum campus. We found a nice place to eat breakfast outside. I had ham filled pannenkoeken, which was delicious, and Gabrielle had a fruit bowl.
We then went to the museum which was amazing. We got the audio tour tape and that helped alot. We even bought a print to bring home.
Next we went to the Heineken Experience which was quite neat. We learned all about how the beer was made. I asked a guy about Heineken Light, and he told me that it all gets shipped to the US--"Nobody drinks that here."
Then we got dinner at another horrible Mexican restaurant. If you're in Amsterdam, avoid mexican food--they don't seem to know how to make it here.
Finally we just got done with a very nice wine and cheese evening boat cruise. The weather is cooling down but it was still fun to be on the water. We are both exhausted and ready for a good night's sleep.
Tomorrow we leave for Cologne, Germany at 10:30. I am excited to head into Germany!

You really had a jam-packed day! But wow! What a lot of neat experiences. Too bad about the Mexican food. How are you getting to Cologne -- by train? It's raining here this evening. We need it, though. We're going to watch the first part of the Emmy Awards because Uncle Frank said that Jennifer was going to be there--maybe we'll see her in the background! :) Love, Mom
Dad wanted you to know that the Chicago Bears beat the Pittsburg Steelers today in Chicago, 17-14. Robbie Gould kicked a field goal with 20 seconds to go. On the kickoff, they fumbled, we recovered, end of game! Yea!
Too bad you missed the game Uncle Nick...the end was great! Whew!
