Saturday June 23
I can see why Emily loves this city. It is very beautiful. The hing I have loved most about Amsterdam is my morning walk to get breakfast. This morning I walked by two flower markets on the way to the store. They have such beautiful things, I also see people carrying fresh flowers all the time. I got stuff to make ham and cheese croissants for breakfast. Emily came over to have breakfast and then we went to a market. It's was kind of like our farmers market only bigger and also mixed with swap and shop like stuff and clothes. There were bakeries, fish markets, ( lots of stinky herring) cheese shops, fresh squeezed oj. So much to see!
From there we went to some souvenir shops to get some items on our list , stopped at Central station to use the restroom for 50 cents. Then we went to get our tickets for the brewery tour. It is right by a huge windmill. I was so excited to see one. It isn't working but it is very pretty. We spent a lot of time there . A lot of beer was consumed, and cheese and sausage and peanuts. Emily's friend Sandra from Spain came to meet us. She is very sweet.
Then we went out to dinner, more beer for Robbie and Jill. The girls are going out tonight and Robbie and I are going for a walk along the canals. I want to see them in the dark and it doesn't get dark until after 10. So we have not seen them yet. We leave in the morning at 730 for Rome!
