Leaving For Europe

Mike and I are leaving on Friday for Europe! He starts another two month block of employment in Kandersteg, Switzerland on March 26. I am going with him for the first 2 weeks, which fall over my spring break at school. We'll spend the first four days in Amsterdam, taking in all the tourist sites and (hopefully) relaxing a bit, too. We plan to visit the Keukenhof Gardens, where the tulips should be in bloom. I am also anxious to visit the Anne Frank house, and the home of Corrie Ten Boom. Anne Frank, of course, was a Jewish girl in hiding during WW2, and Corrie Ten Boom was on the opposite side of the spectrum -- she and her family hid Jews in a tiny closet in their Haarlem home. If we have enough time, we hope to take a day and go to Bruges, Belgium. I will post some pictures from our trip when we get back to Kandersteg!
