Hello everybody, it is now day ten, and our last day in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam. Has been chaos. Our first hostel was super shady, and we were in an 18 bed dorm with our stuff all locked up in big steel drums the entire time. We are now in a much better hostel called the Flying Pig. This place is awesome. When you first walk in the have a bar with a pool table and "the pillow room" (exactly what it sounds like). No shoes allowed. I am currently in the basement kitchen / living room. There are couches, soft lighting, and a big screen TV. They are currently serving the free breakfast. Also, they offer free skype phone calling, internet terminals, and wi-fi.
This town is super touristy, everything is very expensive. The food is generally crappy, greasy stuff. Also, it is incredibly easy to get lost in Amsterdam.
So, in these last few days, we've seen the Van Gogh museum, the Rijksmuseum, and the Anne Frank house. Not to mention, the red light district. That shit is crazy.
Unfortunately, I haven't captured much on film because we were uncomfortable carrying the camera around (security). And also, the camera is having problems. It is demanding a head cleaning cassette again, so the video it spits out is all garbled until we can get it fixed, or until I can get it home. Sooo...maybe no more video until we come home =(
We are heading out to Paris tomorrow! Excitement!

Holy Crap! Your hair, your beautiful hair! The short cut looks pretty good, no 'super unhappy face' necessary, but such a dramatic change was unexpected. Our internet connection (through neighboring wifi's) has been okay today and I was able to watch your travelogue videos-- you look like you're having so much fun, I'm jealous. Keep on rocking in the free world, my friend. I'll see you soon.
