April 13,2012 Van Gough

Today started out bad on Friday the 13th.First I misplaced my train ticket and had to have someone by me another card. Then I decided to ride my bike to the train station and fell off it. Not once but twice.This may not be a good thing this bike.We finally got into Amsterdam and Sam wanted to go to the Dutch Resistance Musum.This museum shows how the Dutch resisted the Nazi occupiers from 1940 to 1945. When the Dutch were liberated they used the Nazi helmets as bedpans.We walked all over to find this museum.It's not as well known as the others.There are many museums in Amsterdam and it would take more than a week to see all of them. The next place we went was the Van Gough Museum.We got to see over 2 hundred of his original paintings including the well known Sunflowers,Potato Eaters,And the Bedroom.Vincent killed himself at the age of 37.Sorry no pictures allowed in the museum.We didn't get back till late and will see the rest of the sights when we come back in October.
