A few weeks ago I had to take my written board exam for Dental
Hygiene school. I took the exam during my
spring break so as soon as I walked out of that testing center Ryan and I ran
home to grab our stuff and we headed straight to the airport. We decided to go spend the week in
Amsterdam.
Amsterdam has always been on
my list of places I want to visit, so when Ryan brought up the idea to go I
jumped all over it. We spent a total of 4
days in the city, walked almost 50 miles, visited and saw just about everything
on our list, and even met up with one of my friends from school and her
husband who just so happen to go to Amsterdam for spring break as well! Amsterdam was one of the most beautiful
places I have ever been to and we loved every minute we were there. The city is built on a series of canals so
there’s a canal up and down almost every street, most of the sidewalks are made
from cobblestone, the buildings lining the streets looked like something out of
a painting, there were tulips on almost every corner, and just about everybody in that city rode their bikes everywhere they went.
It was so charming in just about every way!
The first day we got to Amsterdam, after we made it to our
hotel room and took a brief nap, we set out to begin exploring the city. We started walking up and down different
streets and would occasionally pull out our paper map which was hilarious
because not only did we scream “tourists” but we came to realize that neither
of us are very proficient in map reading.
We got so lost but didn’t mind because we were able to see so much of
the city while we walked around. We
walked down to the red light district which is something so crazy to actually
witness in person.
