Amsterdam


We made it.
Yesterday we visited the Rijksmuseum which has a lot of great works including many by Rembrandt and Peter de Hooch. It was definitely an experience to stand 2 feet in front of "The Night Watch". No photography is allowed inside, sorry kids. Tomorrow we will be visiting the Van Gogh Museum. We also met up with Laura and Molly yesterday, two friends that are studying in Groningen via USC, and their friend Terry, and visited the world famous Barneys Coffeeshop.

Today I got a new pair of Nikes from a shop out of Brooklyn/Amsterdam called Wolf&Pack. The gentleman runnin the shop was super friendly, and spoke the Good Ol' Stars and Bars English.
The shop has an assortment of in house designs from artists back in NY. The selection was small and legit, the way a real sneaker boutique should be. The upstairs housed a small rotating gallery that features work from local Amsterdam artists. Wolf&Pack is a definite must visit if you ever make it to the city.

It's late, and I'm too tired to expound on the day, but, tomorrow I will add some more material for you to survive off. Until Then,

Zac
