Hello from Amsterdam!

Sorry to leave London, it's been foggy and drizzling, but we loved it. We will miss all of the buses. I had a great time at St. Paul's Cathedral, I'm glad they saved it from the great blitz. Beautiful white and gold interior. An original painting of the illuminated Christ (just like the one we saw in Oxford) was housed in the Cathedral. Missing Harris Manchester College and all of the interesting people we met--even more so than ever now. It felt so safe and secure there, compared to the 8 million people living in London. We went to a wonderful French meal at the London resaurant: Brasserie Roux. The food was awesome, the service was impeccable, and their website is: www.sofitelstjames.com . Dinner was followed by the wonderful play, The Phantom of the Opera. Chandelier came so close to our heads in a different scene, and it felt like the Phantom had been singing to us, we were so close. No bus was there to pick us up afterwords, so we returned to the Roux and they treated us gracefully. We will miss London and all the great bus-rides and people.

Hi to Paula Ascher! Hope pod-casts are enjoyable!

Tomorrow, I head to Anne Frank's house with Torey.
