Amsterdam 1 Jake 0




This weekend was one for the books. Surgeries were awesome on Friday. There were a lot of different surgeries going on. A couple got to see stuff dealing with the heart or spine and then there was some less serious. Nicole and I got lucky and got to see alot. Without going onto too much detail, he was an older guy with cancer in the throat and they were removing his larynx, took out a lymph node and put in a shunt. We could pretty much see the whole inside of his throat region. Two of us fainted during surgery, which I was not too happy about. Not sure what makes that happen because it doesn’t bother me at all seeing the surgery. It was from a lack of sleep and no breakfast that morning. After that we were headed to Amsterdam via trains. We went on a boat tour, Heineken Experience tour and a walk trough of King Tut stuff. I didn’t realize that the city was so close to water and was filled with canals. It was pretty cool. The coolest thing by far was the Heineken experience. It was very interactive and fascinating.  King Tut was alright. The night life there is crazy. I don’t know how people live there. I can’t even begin to explain that city at night. Nobody did anything to crazy and we all made it back good just everybody is super tired today. Carnaval is this Thursday till Monday and Zach and I are also headed to Zurich Saturday morning with a few that didn’t go to Amsterdam. We’re looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend.
