Amsterdam! The weekend started out rather precariously. The cab we called took forever to get to us, and when it arrived it was too small even though we specified that we needed a cab for five people. But I didn't let that deter us. We all shoved inside the cab, and I told the taxi man to go. We got to the bus about five minutes before it left and luckily found seats next to each other. The bus ride there didn't get much better. We were stuck for two hours on the freeway behind an accident, and then had to reverse to an offramp to get off the freeway. We finally made it to Amsterdam, but the bus was too tall for a bridge, and the top section was scrapped off. I seriously thought we took a chunk of bridge down, but the bus was no match for it. Once we got off the bus, things picked up. We were late for our reservation at the Anne Frank House, but they graciously let us in. I was amazed at how large the house was. It was so cool walking in the same areas that the families walked in, especially through the secret bookcase passageway. After the house we headed to the Iamsterdam letters. There were crowds of people taking pictures, so it was hard to get a decent shot, but it was still fun to check them out. And I was so excited to take a picture with the T! We spent the rest of the day walking around and exploring the city. I had some tasty pumpkin soup for dinner. The trees are changing orange and red and yellow here, and it is becoming so beautiful. I love that it is starting to look like Fall. It's such a fabulous time of year.
