A Note from Kasey

Today has been quite a relaxing and low key day here in Amsterdam. Most of us decided to sleep in and when we went for breakfast we found out that apparently much of Amsterdam shuts down on Sundays. Many of the shops and restaurants that are not located in the central tourist area stay closed on Sundays. As we walked around today, it seemed that there were mostly just tourists out and about. This is probably because only the touristy (is that a word??) shops are the ones that stay open on Sundays. We also walked to the famous Hemp Hotel today, only to find one bartender/receptionist.. and not much else! I had expected to find at least some literature on hemp and what it can be used for. I was a little disappointed that we didn't see anything there, but I figured that maybe that area of the hotel was probably closed today.. like everything else! All in all, a quiet day!
