on my last full day in Amsterdam, i finally made it to the Anne Frank Huis (house). you got to walk through the entire house including the "Secret Annexe" behind the fake bookcase where Anne and her family stayed. i am glad that i brought the book along for the trip as it made it easier to understand exactly what i was looking at. it was a pretty sobering experience to say the least. it is hard to believe one could live inside for 2 years, with no sunlight, and being around 7 other people for such a long time and not go completely insane. sometimes we truly do not know how lucky we are.
i spent most of the rest of the day trying to dodge the rain while walking the city. at one poitn, i did find a MacHouse (the Apple Store). If you know me, you know why this was pretty cool for me. i am a macDork, what can i say? in the evening, i walked the lovely Jordaan area, where not too many tourists venture. it is a more residential area with smaller canals and the houseboats that line them. i walked in this area until the sun came down so i could grab some night shots. that's all for now...tomorrow, Paris!
