The food is good.... I really stayed at my friends house and that friend lives on the outskirts of leerdam meaning not in leerdam outside of it.... Amsterdam is really busy and I can tell you anne frank's house when I went there was a 3 hour wait in line (the line was that long). But there are other musuems like the tulip museum which is really cool if you want to know where they came in in the dutch history. My trip ends monday!! Whaaaa!!! Anyhow currency rates change daily and they dont use guiders in money they now use Euros. By the exhange rate so far its been like .63/.64 euros= 1.54/1.55 American dollars so if you pay like me for instance 55 euros on a necklace here ( they are about 47-250 euros depending on the necklace you want) so it was about 85 American dollars! talk about expensive taste for dutch people. Visa cards are low in Acceptance at certain stores. I love the late spring early summer here I already have a tan.... lol!! if you want to have a wild day or so of excitement try Efteling (an Amusement park) it may seem expensive but if I want adventure and don't want to pay what my sister did to take herself, my 2 nieces and her husband to disney land when it like near what she say 800$$ for passes to disneyland for 2/3 days for the 4 of them..... At least Efteling is cheaper with passes for 2 days at 53 euros (about 85 American dollars) or 1 day at 27 euros (44 American Dollars). I got to say if you stay away from the Red Light District Area you are fine unless you want drugs and alot of wild people that like to be horny 24/7. I was never there so I dont know the full experience but my friend tells me to say its the worse area in the country. There are a few other fun places like the delta works, and the open air museum. The delta works is located at the edge of the ocean so if you get seasick or have a fear of heights or bumpy rides or anything do the right thing and dont go at all even though its about 18 euros(between 36-40 American dollars) to get in a person. The open Air musuem is a very nice place its an outdoor musuem...and requires alot walking. Its in Arhem, Netherlands and is a place that is just like very woodsy but its cool. I am going to enclose my picture on here so you can see me at the Openlucht museum (Open Air Museum) My friend took the picture when we were next to the paper mill house (yeah.... How they make paper old fashion way and its cool) I changed my hair with colors a bit as most of you know I am a brown head but I am a blondish/brownish head with black bangs now!! My hair was up in a bun since it was a very very warm day.
