Today we took a 3 hour tour through Amsterdam, learning about the history and culture. It was a lot of fun and very educational. The culture is very laid back, and has really always been that way. The Dutch really have always tried to focus on being tolerant of other cultures, religions, people, habits, and ways of life.

We also went on a tour through the Anne Frank house, which was a great experience. We got to actually stand in the house where the Frank family and friends stayed hidden during the Holocaust. We are going out to the Red light district tonight, which we saw a little of today. We will update again tomorrow.
