Amsterdam and Antwerp

Carl and the Holland Cow

A Riverboat Cruise that travels through the canals of Amsterdam. We took a similar tour the night before.


Me outside of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. We had just finished touring the house, which is now a museum. They do not allow pictures to be taken inside the house, but it was an incredible experience. Anne Frank's experience during World War II exemplifies what it means to be human. It was incredibly touching and surreal to see where her and her family hid for almost 2 years during the Nazi occupation of Holland.

We took a little tour to Ghent, Belgium. Ghent is a city originally built during Medieval times that survived the bombings of 2 world wars. This is a Medieval castle.


We also toured a little chocolate shop in Ghent and got to sample yummy Belgian chocolates.
