I'm going to write a quick post this time! I've gotten behind on writing about my adventures! I've had 2 trips in the past month: 3 weeks ago, I went to Amsterdam for the weekend, and 2 weeks ago, I was in the Amalfi Coast!
I went to Amsterdam with 2 other girls. We got there late Wednesday night, and stayed through Sunday. It's such an underrated city! I LOVED it! It's beautiful, open, clean, and has a lot of stuff to offer. We went to the Van Gogh museum on Thursday, and I loved it because he's my FAVORITE artist! Friday we were able to go to the Anne Frank House which was unbelievably moving and a priceless experience. We saw the Red Light District which was uncomfortable and degrading. Definitely only stayed for about 2 minutes which was longer than was necessary. We went to a Torture Museum which was weird, the Botanical Gardens, the Heineken Brewery, and some of the main squares. It's a wonderful city, and I definitely want to go back some day! Plus, I loved being with my Dutch people!
The Amalfi Coast was a beautiful place, but unfortunately, it wasn't a terrific weekend for me. It was cloudy and cold our first day there, but Capri is a beautiful, unique island, so it was great getting to see it. Saturday we spent the day at Positano, but unfortunately, I was sick. I went home at 6 and slept for the rest of the night :(. Sunday we left Sorrento (where we'd been staying at this GREAT hostel) and stopped in Pompeii on our way back to Rome. I'd been there before, but because of culture week, it was free entry! So, we went in, and me, Tricia, and Nicole had a fun afternoon being goofballs around the city!
I'm lucky to have been able to go on these trips, and so grateful for all the opportunities I've been given. I have 2 weeks left in Roma, this week is finals, then my Momma and Mandi get here Thursday, and we have 10 great days together here before I'm on a plane back home!
