Our June 6th in Amsterdam

So today we started bright and early. A little too early because the sun and warmth was apparently not ready to come out yet. So we shivered as we met up at the Homomonument, awaiting our tour appointment at the Anne Frank House. Although it is the most visited museum in the world, we were still able to squeak by in our group of 17! We were all excited for the museum, and agreed that it was really wonderful in our debriefing afterwards. A commonly held sentiment was that it is so amazing to see so much hope, talent, and light in a young girl during such devastating times. We're in awe!

Then we split up to continue/start/finish our individual projects. But of course, in true "us" fashion, we ended up randomly going to the same place for lunch, minus only a couple of students.

Well, i'm not quite sure what every person did today, and my day wasn't too eventful. Alex Yu and I went to the market while Lucia did her research. Then we went to city hall, which for me was unsuccessful. And i ended my day by going to the World Press Photo Gallery in the Old Church, which was incredible! But i wont go into any details...

I hope everyone else had a great day! I think its safe to say that we're all a little upset to see out GIEU trip slowly coming to an end (only two days left), but we're definitely excited about our country side tour tomorrow! peace. sophie.
