9/14 - 4th Day Amsterdam

Today it is raining in Amsterdam. This morning went to visit the Anne Frank Huis, a very moving experience. This is a site to visit. Got all choked up just seeing the visuals and written descriptions about Anne Frank. We can not forget that such an atrocity happened and similar atrocities continue to happen in other countries.  Sorry no pictures of interior as picture taking is prohibited.  You will just have to visit in person.

Due to the damp weather decided to lunch at a large department store, Henri had a Thai chicken sandwich with a side salad and aprikosen tart. Afterwards jumped on a canal boat for a short tour of the city. The boat tour could have been better but with wet weather one has to make the best of it. Went back to the apartment to dry off a bit before going to dinner. Barney's Farm was the place chosen to have dinner. The place was run by Turkish staff, the menu was a melange of ethnic foods and hamburgers made with Irish Beef. The hamburgers won out, they were very tasty. Also had a taste of Genefer, it's sort of like Gin but not Gin and tastes like vodka with an herbal flavor. And let's not forget the ambience: blaring Reggae music and customers smoking Marijuana, very Amsterdamish. You can find places to smoke at almost every corner, nook and cranny. Yes, second hand smoke can affect you!
