I really wanted to be able to take the opportunity to post frequently while on my trip to the Netherlands and Italy however, between running all the time, doing homework and often slow internet services, I have not been so successful. I tried to journal, when I could, so to be able to share the experience at a later time.
Oct. 5th, 2018 - Friday
Day Two began packing up my stuff from the first hotel and checking in at the second hotel Bob booked, at the airport. I then preceded to take the train to downtown Amsterdam again. Today I wanted to tour some shops, walk some more roads, and just take in the day beauty of this historic town. I decided that I had to have some Dutch pancakes and did so! Yummy!!
I moved on to browsing however, I am so excited for my tour at Anne Franks home and museum at 1pm today.
I currently sit a block from Anne Frank’s house waiting for my tour to begin. Even just standing outside the home, my heart sank as I remember the words of a young 14 year old Jewish girl who was in isolation for 2 years with her family because of being Jewish. I look across the street and wonder what her thoughts were, during those moments she snuck up to the annex and looked at the buildings, I am currently free to look at.
