Haley and I decided to go to the Van Gogh museum today since we figured it would be way too crowded to wait until Saturday night when they have Museum Nacht. We got some delicious chocolate muffins at this coffee shop and then headed to the museum. I think it was one of my favorite museums I have visited so far. It was just really well organized and I liked that as you walked through it it told a story that progressed through Van Gogh’s life. I literally read every plaque in that museum and looked at every painting. I’m the worst person to go to a museum with. They were also playing really swanky music the whole time. On Friday nights the museum is open until 10 pm so we decided to go later around 7 as to avoid dealing with a crowd. It was perfect. Our initial intentions were to get there as soon as it opened but I honestly just couldn’t get out of bed that early. So we ate breakfast at our hostel and then went for a walk around the city during the day. We found the I AM STERDAM letters and took a picture with them. And then sat some more. We found a grocery store and got lunch there. Bread, cheese, olive spread, and beer. This has been my lunch every day in Amsterdam so far. We ate lunch in one of the main squares (Dam Square) while listening and watching the street performers. I heard a beautiful Dutch rendition of ‘Hey there Delilah’ as well as several Bob Marley songs. It was great.
