saturday night: carnival in the dam square. jeff had to sit in the wheel chair that we (ahem) acquired for him - because of his injuries - in the rain while we went on one of the scariest rides in the history of nomadic carnivals. we got frites, walked around, and went to a bar called coco's where they pride in their "lousy food, good beer"atmosphere. my body initiated a mutiny as i have not slept much/at all really this past week nor on the flight and i promptly fell asleep on the table. headed back to michelle's and to bed. yesterday we ate maoz's, a renowned falafel place, became really confused/had our minds blown by day light savings (who even saw that one coming??) and thoroughly enjoyed the addition of justine to our troupe. jeff, jeremy, hannah and i decided to get a room at a hostel as michelle's one room apartment was a little overcrowded. and no one wanted to sleep on the inflatable raft again. we ended up at an absinthe bar after checking in to the hotel where, again, i fell asleep. we all walked back to the hotel, michelle, ben and justine went back to michelle's place and hannah, jeremy, jeff and i packed in like sardines, horizontally across two single beds, and spent the uncomfortable warm night trying not to let our butts fall through the crack in the bed. today we went to anne frank's house, and then the van gogh museum where i was thoroughly awed by the schiele special exhibit. jeff and jeremy went back to paris where ben and i will be joining them on wednesday, possibly hannah as well.
tonight, we dance!
