Day1

Landed in Amsterdam about 8:30am.  We took the train into Amsterdam (costs only $6.5NLG = $2.80 US).  Walked to the Anne Frank House to check it out:

Later, I went to the rijkmuseum, but no pictures allowed.  Followed that by going on Mike's Bike Tour where we road around the city, over the skinny bridge and out to the country side where we checked out a place where they made cheese and clogs.  Later we checked out a windmill and had beers at an Irish Pub.

After Mike's Bike tour, we all decided to go out that evening and check out the Greenhouse Effect and later Casa Rossa.  Then we went to hook up with Andre at the pub to check out the Escape club, but we couldn't find him, so we just walked around.  Saw a huge internet cafe.
