Paris, Amsterdam

Very quick update since I only have 15min left on my internet time.

Paris
GREAT!!!! We stayed with some friends of Michael's parents, Janet and John. Wonderfull people, they took good care of us. They live in Versaille (took us a while to find the place, but the story is too long to tell now) so we took the train into Paris in the morning. We spent some time at the Louvre, but definatly not enough (for me anyway). We also went to the museum at l'Hotel des Invalides. That was really great too. It had a history of war museum, which was my comprimise for visiting the Louvre. We also saw Napoleon's tomb. Wait till you see the pictures! And of course we went to the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. We walked around the Latin Quarter too, but apparently it shuts down in August cause most of the shops were closed for the month! Our last day we spent at Chateaux Versaille.

Amsterdam
Not as great as Paris. I somehow managed to book the scketchyest place ever! And right in the middle of the Red Light district. So frist impression of Amsterdam, very dirty. But once we wandered off out of the Red Light district, it's actually quite nice. We went to the Anne Frank House. What an experience. Today we are going to the NEMO (science museum). We walked around the Red Light district at night yesterday, and well, I lead a very sheltered life! It was cool though.

Anyway, out of time. Next stop, Berlin!
