You may have noticed that most of our pictures from Amsterdam are birds in the park. Well, for one, as Christiana mentioned we already saw lots of canals etc. in our other travels around Holland. Also, there are lots of things you can't take pictures of in Amsterdam. Things we did where pictures were forbidden:
Visited the Van Gogh Museum - Recommended, I like Van Gogh's style of painting especially after all the Renaissance art we saw from the 1400 and 1500's which is cool, but starts to feel a little repetitive. Also, as I mentioned earlier about Dutch pronunciation, you can pronounce his name Van Hhokhh and people will think you are going to cough up some mucus instead of talk about impressionist paintings, so that's fun.
Toured the Anne Frank House - A really remarkable place that shows you exactly where Anne and the 7 others hid during World War II. They still have the original bookcase that hid the secret apartment.
Solicited Prostitutes - Totally just kidding. You can't take any pictures of them no matter what your intentions. We did walk by a whole bunch, though.
