April 12,2012 Amsterdam Day 2

As usual we got a late start today into Amsterdam.We had a better plan than yesterday and decided to go to the Amsterdam Museum.The weather turned out sunny today and made for a more enjoyable day.This town is so full of people that you can hardly move down the street.I think mostly tourists.There is a famous wooden house near the museum that dates back to 1528.It is the oldest building in Holland with a wooden facade.The Amsterdam Museum is housed in a 500 year old orphanage.It takes you through the beginning of Holland to the present day.Holland is a city of freedom. Prostitution is legal as is marajuana.There are coffee shops all over as well as sex shops.Everyone seems to congregate at Dam Square.This is the center and everything spreads out from there.The City Hall is located there and was built in 1648.It was the finest in Europe at the time. Having a good time.
