Andrew's Blog: Amsterdam

This weekend 5 of my friends and I went to Amsterdam. The city itself is beautiful, but at this time of year the weather is not so much so. It was fairly cold and rainy the whole time, but we still had fun. The first day we walked around the city, visited some coffeeshops, and took a tour of the Heineken brewery. Well, it wasn't so much a tour of the brewery as it was a museum of Heineken's history that serves you three beers along the way. The Heineken beer in Amsterdam tastes so much better than it does in the U.S., it's amazing. The next day, we visited the Van Gogh museum and did some more sight-seeing. We took advantage of all of the delicious and cheap food in Amsterdam, much better than Barcelona. However, after a long weekend of vegging, it was nice to be back. A great weekend that I won't forget (mostly).
