We spent the rest of the day walking around the city before finally heading to the airport and heading home just in time to catch the biggest snowfall in London in 20 years.

Amsterdam 3
Sunday, my last day in Amsteram included a trip the Anne Frank House in the morning. We walked through where Anne Frank was in hiding during the German occupation of Amsterdam. I've been to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. before and that was rather intense, but mainly becuase it was just overwhelming. The Anne Frank story, however, personalizes the experience to one girl and her family and makes it that much more tangible. Walking through the empty annex where she lived made my eyes watered up quite a few times. It is a must do if you ever go to Amsterdam.
