Aaaand this is what it has become:
This is called Amsterdam Kermis, a yearly fair/ carnival thing that originally had something to do with celebrating a saint, but, like most great holidays, it has lost that connotation and now exploits people for capital gain. But boy did I have fun!
This ride was ca-raaaazy! I did not go on it, don't worry, Grammy.
This pic pretty much sums up the fickleness of the weather here.

And then I met up with Sara! She was so excited because yesterday she "was hating the life" with all of her essays and such, and this carnival reminded her of being a kid at home. We rode on the ferris wheel, so here, have a ton of pictures of Amsterdam from 60 meters in the air (and some adorable videos of one of my BFFs- best foreign friends).
