After landing in Amsterdam, we were so tired from staying up all night, that after checking into our hostel we ate lunch at a local pub and then went to take a nap. After waking up, we decided to do our normal first night in the city adventure of walking around and exploring. We found a street where many different kinds of restaurants were located. We decided to call it the ethnic food aisle. There was everything from Mexican, Argentinean, and Asian food to American and Italian food. We ate at an Argentinean Steakhouse and we all ordered the specialty of the house, the Steak with chimichurri sauce, which was very good. After this we walked to the notorious Red Light District. The boys had a great time seeing all of the ‘sights’ the night had to offer while Cara was pretty much in shock. For those that don’t know, the reason it’s called the Red Light district is due to the windows, lit up with red lights, where girls stand and try to entice men to come in “for a good time”. It was very interesting and definitely something we were not used to seeing. After walking around for a while, it started raining pretty hard so we stopped to at this French Fries booth that we saw everywhere and got an order to share. They were delicious! We then took a cab home, only because it was raining, and went to sleep so we could get an early start the next day.
