What an amazing and educational day we have had! We started with a canal boat ride to Anne Frank's house. Truly moving...a loving tribute to a daughter and a message of peace for all of us. We also visited the Jewish Historical Museum and the Dutch Resistance Museum. I must not have been listening in class or I was never taught the incredibly heroic acts performed by so many ordinary citizens. Many, many lessons to be passed on and many, many stories to keep alive. Honestly, I would like to go back and spend more time at the Dutch Resistance Museum.
The day was made better by now having Lenicia's company. We both seem to appreciate the same kinds of sights....the variety of amazing architecture around us, the kinds of vehicular traffic whizzing by us, the languages we hear all around us, the genuinely kind people we have met that have been so helpful and the clocolate dipped waffle we shared! What an awesome day!
