Canal Tour This past weekend was our free weekend and our very last too, so a bunch of us booked a trip to Amsterdam. One of the most interesting things we got to do while in the city was a canal tour. We left the dock around seven and boated all throughout the canal system for an hour and a half.

There were so many interesting exhibits and so much to learn about history and culture there. My favorite part of the museum was the hallway filled with ancient sculptures and artwork. I particularly liked this frame depicting Cain and Abel from the Bible. I also liked the exhibits on technology, […]
