After returning home from Amsterdam, I weigh eight pounds less than I did when I got there. That is what illness and asparagus begets.

While not starving myself, I went to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh museum, and the Anne Frank Huis, all of which I enjoyed. The Anne Frank Huis was particularly interesting, but actually because of the architecture. I really liked the modern renovations to the old building. The juxtaposition of the styles was really cool. I bought a book about the museum and house itself, but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.

Photos are on Flickr. There are more of them up there if I know you; this is me. I have a lot of stories from the trip, but I sort of haven’t been sharing them. Sometimes things are more enjoyable when they’re quiet.
