When Aline & Mark came to visit me in London we took a little side trip to none other than Amsterdam. And man, I gotta tell you Amsterdam is a beautiful and quirky town. Bikes everywhere, canals and of course coffee shops!!!
This was the magnificent sight on the courtyard of the Van Gough Museum. Did you know he shot himself in the end for fear that he had nothing more to give to the world...
"Countless friends and acquaintances have been taken off to a dreadful fate. Night after night, green and gray military vehicles cruise the streets... It's impossible to escape their clutches unless you go into hiding." -Anne Frank, 19 November 1942
This is the actual house where Anne Frank wrote her diary whilst she hid. It was a trip walking inside and witnessing such history. It makes you wonder about how history truly does repeat itself.
