European adventures begin - my day out in Amsterdam...

After the excitement of being in Africa, we planned a couple days in Europe on the way home to the US.  We had to change flights in Amsterdam, so we packed in a couple extra days on the return flight to see what Amsterdam had to offer.  I left 24 hours before Erin did due to the vagaries of airline schedules and their crazy airfare structure, in order to save myself over $1000.  So as I said goodbye to Erin and Adam in Tanzania, it was with the knowledge that I would be seeing Erin again soon, a much easier leave taking than the last time I said goodbye, knowing it would be months!  (I won't even talk about my thoughts at leaving Adam alone in Africa.  Some things are best left unsaid!)
