Amsterdam Day 2
So Day 2 in Amsterdam was dubbed Heineken Museum Day by our resident frat-boy Joe. Therefore I have the most pictures from Day 2, because apparently you get picture happy when you are drunk and in a museum. Or maybe just drunk with a camera. Whatever. Woke up bright and early (aka noon) and wandered through the streets by our hotel in search of sustenance. As you can see, weed (found in "coffee shops") was plentiful although a meal we could all agree on was a bit more elusive. We finally settled on a Tibetan restaurant which made Poon and I, "the asians," quite happy. Also, look Brad Pitt was there! After lunch we decided it would be a good idea to walk to the Heineken Museum because Kim was sure it "wasn't so far." Nevermind that it was sprinkling and probably right around zero degrees Celsius. At one point we thought we were there but it was just another building labeled Heineken. We finally arrived eight gazillion hours later only to be told the line was 45 minutes long and the museum was closing in two hours and "you'll never finish in time so you should just leave and come back tomorrow!" But we had just walked nine thousand miles in the rain and wanted our three free beers with 10 euro admission so we were not to be deterred and luckily a lot of other people (suckers!) got out of line and we ended up getting inside after only about twenty minutes of waiting. Joe pondering the finer points of the beer making process. The Poon and I happy that the silly museum-y part was almost over and the beer was just around the corner! Cheers! We saw another group take this same picture and took our own but huddled away from them so they wouldn't think we were a bunch of copycat losers...which okay...maybe we were but at least they didn't see. Group picture while we were all still relatively sober. After the first bar the museum resumes, but this time more fun and exciting because you've already had one pint of beer. In the second bar (which is at the end of the tour) you get not one but TWO free beers. So you'll understand why the pictures that follow are so...uh...interesting. My Amsterdam souvenir which could probably get me a lot of boys. Beer-loving boys anyway. Flashbacks of Halloween except this time Joe looks a little less scared and a little more into it. And also, Kim isn't wearing lipstick. After the museum we decided to walk home, because well, we were drunk and didn't mind that it was cold and damp. Originally this was a group shot but all the group pictures came out blurry so finally Joe just took one of me. Because I'm mellow. And yellow. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant. We found the Buddhist paraphernalia next to the wine glasses to be quite entertaining because Buddhism is all about eliminating desire and Amsterdam (and wine! and beer!) is all about feeding them. All of them. The Virgin Mary in the same restaurant about 10 feet away from those buddhist things. Back to the area right around our hotel, sweet hotel. End of Day 2. Bedtime. And no comment. I was tired okay! Labels: Europe
