Amsterdam

Today we went to Amsterdam, there we went to The Street market, Anne Frank house, and the Hermitage museum. At the street market we bought a smoothie, and nuts. It was really fun. The hermitage museum is not what you would excpect. It's about the Tsars who lived in Russia.
It was very interesting to see all the clothes, Toys, and acsessories they used. The Anne Frank house was really awesome. They had all the differant rooms in the annexe but you couldn't go to the attic. Our favorite quote was " One Anne Frank stands out more than all the others who shared her fate. They are standing in the shadows, but perhaps it's better that way because if we knew all of their pain and suffering we wouldn't be able to live" . Mom said it was very moving. I thought it was very horrible how they were all sent to Aushwitz where almost everyone died.

Bye! Emily

Yea, Anne Frank house, good for you having been there.

What amazes me is how some filled with hatred kill beautiful and passionate persons.
