AMS....

A rainy day in Amsterdam.
We went down to the Anne Frank house. Wow, that was interesting. Quite a powerful story.
We then walked down the canals to Amsterdam Central station to catch a canal bus and take a tour of the canals. Many of the bridges in the old town were built in the 1600's. Some of the houses were built in late 1500's to early 1600's. Our hotel, the Pulitzer, is a collection of old canal houses. It has a lot of Dutch style. Definitely a unique place. The hotel has been in several movies, including Oceans 12.
We are near the Jordaan. The old Jewish district. It's a collection of boutique shops now.
We are having pancakes at the famous Pancake Bakery as I write this.
Our pancakes are more like crepes.
