Amsterdam! and the end:(

On our last day in Europe, Jenny and I went to Amsterdam! I couldn't leave the Netherlands without going to Amsterdam. We had no plan, of course, but once we got there, we just hopped off the train and started walking. After we found a map, we ate lunch in this little yummy place (I ate tuna!).
Then we tried to find our way to Anne Frank's house! It took awhile to walk there, because we kept stopping at random places (like little stores, a cool park, and a plaza with break dancers). We waited in line for awhile at Anne Frank's house, but it was worth it. It was a different experience than going into a genocide memorial with hundreds of dead bodies and skeletons like in Rwanda, but that doesn't mean it wasn't powerful. When I was in the annex where she and her whole family hid, I tried to imagine not going outside for years and years. I can't even think about how awful that would be.
We also went to the Van Gogh museum. It was cool, but I didn't really think it was worth all the money I paid to get in! The paintings were beautiful of course, but I guess I'm not that much of an art person. And Starry Night wasn't even there, how sad!
My favorite part of Amsterdam was going to a park. We saw it on the map, so we asked a guy at the museum if it was worth walking to. He said it was cool, but "all there is is grass, trees, and hippees." Of course, that made us want to go even more. We just layed in the grass, listening to music, near all of the hippees that were smoking pot. It was seriously so much fun just laying there!
Amsterdam is nice, but I just really miss Rwanda. I used to always dream about one day backpacking through Europe. But now, I'm honestly not that interested in doing that. Besides the fact that it would be exhausting and expensive, I really just would rather spend my time in somewhere like Rwanda.
We had our goodbye dinner the last night of our trip, and it was so sad. I really love everyone that was on this trip; they are all amazing in their own way. They were really my family for six weeks, and I think we will always be there for each other. We've experienced a lot that was really hard to deal with emotionally, and we've all made it through together. I cannot explain how comforting it is to look around and see their lovely faces. I really don't know what I'm going to do without them around me every minute of every day!
