April 11,2012 Amsterdam

Last night we arrived at Camping Amsterdam and will stay here 4 days.There's a lot we want to see in Amsterdam.We went out to dinner to an Argentine Grill and later in evening I got sick.Not sure if it was the food or just a bug.Today we headed out to get the train to Amsterdam.We got to the station and there was no way of getting tickets using money and our cards aren't working.There were 3 nice spanish guys that were able to use there card to get us tickets and we were on our way.Amsterdam is very busy with tourists.We got to the TI and had to wait for quite awhile to get our 3 day train pass. It covers all the Metro,Buses and Trams.We also bought tickets for the Van Gogh museum and a ticket for me to go to the Anne frank house.Sam wasn't interested in the Anne Frank house so I went by myself.There were 8 people that went into hiding in July 1942 and 2 years later the German Security service raids the house and take all 8 people to the concentration camps. All died except for Anne's father Otto who survived.We cannot change the past,we can only learn what discrimination and persecution of innocent people means.It's everyones responsibilty to fight prejudice.Here our some of the photos from today.
