By Syd Jones and Mara Cosgrove:
Today we arrived in Amsterdam at 7 am! It was a long day of flying but worth it when we got our first view of the Netherlands. We spent the day exploring Amsterdam, going on a canal tour where we got to experience all of the common attractions, mainly the historic architecture. Not only did we get to see the beautiful historic sights but we got a taste of the modern culture too. Many girls suffered a bit of a shock when introduced to the lack of "modesty" associated with the city. Some of us spent a couple hours searching for a restroom only to find out that it cost a few cents to use the toileten! Sydney and Shalayne nearly missed the boat ride but Danny came to the rescue and stopped the boat. Our tour guide Cess gave us a look into some of the city's hotspots that we will get a better look at on Thursday. Although we had our doubts about the food here, we were pleasantly surprised with the hotels 3 course meal. As far as the rest of tonight goes, we are all looking forward to some sleep and are eagerly anticipating what tomorrow holds, including our 8 pm game against Ter Leede!
Editors note: Jones, Cosgrove, Janis and Burke will be doing the laundry after tomorrow's game for being late to dinner! The team appreciates you are offering to do this.
