This past Friday a group of us decided to make a short trip to the infamous city of Amsterdam!! And to say the least it was pretty amazing! Amsterdam really did surprise me though. All you hear about is the "Red Light District" but there was SO MUCH MORE. It was actually a really beautiful city with amazing architecture and scenery. And the city was really clean. Also Amsterdam was such a melting pot. I felt like every time i passed someone walking on the street they were speaking a different language from the last.
While we were there we made a stroll down the red light district, went to the famous coffee shop, and went to the van Gogh museum. The van Gogh museum was really great!! Seeing the pictures and real life was something completely different from seeing it on a print. The pictures were almost three dimensional! We also discovered the waffles. And they were heaven. Probably the best thing i have ever had. SO good, that i had 2 in a day. haha. GUILTY.
We can back on Saturday night, then on Sunday we woke up TOO early. But it was so worth it. We attended mass at a monastery in the Eifel. Maria Lach. It is an 11th century monastery that is full of history and beauty. It was really a unique experience! Then we went to a castle, that was pretty neat. And went to Montreal, which is a picturesque town in the Eifel.
Overall it was a great weekend!! But reality soon starts because tests are coming up. Boo.
