Christmas in Amsterdam

Spending Christmas in Amsterdam! I have completely fallen in love with this beautiful city. The entire city is covered with a blanket of snow. I am mesmerized by the Dutch language. I can't stop taking pictures of the gorgeous canals. I visited the Anne Frank house today and was so moved by what I saw. I think it was ever more special because I read the book earlier this year. Loved some of the quotes from the book that were up on the walls:

"I know what I want,
I have a goal,
I have opinions,
a religion,
and love".
-Anne Frank

and a quote from her father:

"We cannot change what happened anymore. The only thing we can do is to learn from the past and to realize what discrimination and persecution of innocent people means. I believe that it's everyone's responsibility to fight prejudice. -Otto Frank, 1970


Merry Christmas from Amsterdam!
