Amsterdam

Hi Everyone, we made it across the pond. Our flight from STL to Philly was a bit rough, mostly because the plane was so small. We had a slight delay in Pilly due to weather and were worried that we were going to miss our connecting flight into Amsterdam. When we got to Philly we also had to take a shuttle which we just made. We ran through the airport and made the flight just in time. The flight wasn't bad. The seats were fairly comfy for airplane seats, we had a delicious airplane pasta dinner and slept for a while before got into Amsterdam. When we arrived we really didn't know how to get out of the airport so we lugged everything around until we figured out finally that we needed be downstairs. We got downstairs and bought two train tickets to downtown Amsterdam. When we arrived in downtown it was starting to sprinkle then progressed to a fairly large downpour. We forgot an umbrella so we were getting soaked. We decided to stop into a cafe, which was home to the tamest cat ever, and have some lunch. We then headed down the street when the rain stopped and made our way to what we thought was the train station. To our surprise it was the complete opposite from where we wanted to go, but it worked out because our hotel was two streets down. We have a pretty nice hotel (small but nice) and we are about to take a short cat nap to get ready for this evening. Talk to you all later.
