Amsterdam just won’t stop raining and snowing. In between weather breaks we’ve covered a lot of ground. We just got back from an Indian restaurant (same 30 min wait), and the Van Gough museum. Both were interesting. The new hostel we are staying in is the downtown Flying Pig, and it’s sooooo much fun. Right now I’m on a computer next to jake with a live dj spinning records in the back. To my left there is a big lounge area with tons of pillows and tables. This city is absolutely great for people watching. We have a small but inexpensive bar here, so we’ll spend some time here before we head out on the town. The girls from London, Charlotte and Emily have been a wonderful addition to our group, and I can’t wait to meet up with them again in London. I can honestly say that I’ve never laughed harder and for so long than I did with Jake and them, it was really great.

Jake and I have to check out of the hostel by 7am to catch a hour and a half train ride to our airport which will take us to a little spot outside of Barcelona. We’ll have to take another short train ride from there, and we’ll be checking in to a nice (supposedly) place in the heart of Barcelona. Hopefully, it will be as amazing as Amsterdam has been. We American’s have it pretty good as far as CD prices, a new cd costs about 2 times the amount here as it does in the states. I’d have to get a second to have the record collection here like I have at home.

Please note - I’m not using a spell check here, just getting this posted.
