Hello from Beautiful Amsterdam! We are all sitting here recovering after a long day, waiting for dinner at Wagamama on the other side of the square. We had A wonderful tour on the bus this morning, and then we had a cruise on the canal. We really enjoyed that, it gave us a nice sense of the city and how beautiful it is.
We have learned that there are approximately 1 million bicycles in Amsterdam and we have nearly collided with several hundred of them!! Cameron actually was hit by a bicycle which gave us all a scare!! His pants were ripped and there was a little blood but he is a trooper and already laughing about it! (We both were shaking for a while though!! Lots of hugs!!) He just told me "Well, at least I'm not dead!"
After the tours we broke up in groups as most of the kids wanted to go shopping and others of us wanted to go see museums. So we sent the kids off armed with maps and directions on how to meet us here, and off they went. Brittney, Carson, Jayne, Carol, Cam and I went to the Riksmuseum and then the Van Gogh museum.
