Wow. if taking pictures in the red light district was allowed... then i would have documented my late night stroll. It is nutty. I am in a strange vortex at the moment.
I got to Amsterdam last night around 7pm. Walked to my hostel, bags in hand. It was a super long train ride, since i did not want to pay the 40 euro to go direct from Paris to Amsterdam, I took the 4 euro route, which was 17 hours of travel. Paris to Berlin, then Berlin to Amsterdam... lots of time to think. Lots of time to imagine. Imagining is one of my favorite past times. Since i am going ultra cheap, I also refused to pay 2.70 for a tap water on the train and 7 euro for a grilled cheese. Instead, i sucked it up like a champ, went thirsty, and ate the last 3 inches of my sesame seed baguette, drizzled in the last bit of my .99 cent hot sauce.
Good times. But do not worry mom, there is plenty of food at the hostel. Free all you can eat breakfast... I made myself about 4 peanut butter, nuttella and jam sandwiches on whole wheat, at this mornings breakfast. Wrapped them up in napkins and then i vanished, like a phantom.
Sometimes you have to take more than big brother gives you.
Life is good, in Amsterdam.
xo... goooooooooodnight.
