The Netherlands

There is so much to say about this beautiful country I'm not sure where to begin. First off I was so excited when we flew into Germany and the Captain said the current temperature was 1 degree Celsius and it was snowing!!! It was only a little snow but AHHHH!!! Germany was breath taking!!!   This is a picture while we were driving. All my other pictures are on the camera I lost :(

 I was in awe with Germany, the little villages and the cute little houses! Germany is a beautiful country that is for sure!

Amsterdam what is there to say!! Rene and I had an absolute BLAST! The beer was awesome there and the people were SO nice!!! Rene and I had a discussion as to why the Dutch are so happy all the time. We came up with 3 reasons, 1. They exercise, since driving around is such a hassle it is a lot easier to ride a bike or walk. The people here walk or bike everywhere! 2. Prostitution is legal meaning people are having sex. Exercise and having sex release endorphins which in turn make you feel happy :) and of course, I think this goes without saying, 3. Smoking marijuana is legal. BUT I say the main reasons they are so happy is because of reason 1 and 2. Reason 3 I would say just makes them a bit more passive rather then aggressive...

 Mulligan's, an Irish pub we went to. This place was legit, full of Irish folk dancing and all that jazz. I did not try the Guinness there unfortunately, although I've heard it's the best in Amsterdam!

 This is a movie theater!!! Talk about watching a movie on the big screen. This place is setup like a performing arts center, balcony seating and box seating. It was awesome! We watched 007 Skyfall. Yes we went and watched a movie on vacation :)

This is the better view from our hotel room. I think this was a petting zoo, because they had little ponies, donkeys, sheep, goats and other animals. Just past it is Rembrandt park. I can only imagine what this place looks like during the spring/summer time.

Again there is so much to say about the Netherlands. I am so glad Rene and I decided to make this our 1st European vacation. We both really enjoyed ourselves and would love to go back again some day! Almost forgot to rave about the food!!! OH MY GOODNESS! Everything we ate there was insanely good. The pizza was amazing, the sushi, the steak!, sandwiches and even the coffee! Maybe it's because there isn't much variety of food here but Ahhh! Words do not come close to explaining how delicious the food was in Amsterdam!
