We finally made it to the anne frank huis today! Hooray for us! On the way we stopped at the Albert Cuypmarkt. it is a huge mark3et filled with fresh fruits and veggies local cheeses sausages chocolates(i'm not eating chocolates tee hee) bakery goods(again not eating--angie bad) clothing music bags jewlry nuts and the non people kind too and loads of the other fine things at a great market rate! Good times and food was had by Caleb and Angie! We likey the parket:p the onto finally the anne frank huis. Not the good feel story of the latter centry, bnut one which should be taken note for sure. It was creepy she ws a great writer. I didnt know that her father actually lived though the Holocaust. Anne believed her whole family to be dead when her sister passed away in the same holocaust camp that Anne died in. Ahew may have had the hope to go on if only she had known that her faither lived. Her farther's ex-secretary had held Anne's diaries until her father learned for sure that she and her sister were dead and then she handed over his daughter\s legacy to him and the world. That was moving after that we neede some fun so we headed for a couple of our favorite coffeeshops. Good time were had by all. We will probebly only be in town one more day and then head south through some other holland towns and make our way to belguim and then maby make our way to Spain. It is cold cold cold and wet here. We may seek some warmer climates:) Harrlem is our immediate next target city. Camping is working out to be a great deal. It is cold, but comfortable in the tent and under the sleeping bag it is very warm.
