Girl Scouts in Europe

7/7/11: After a flight delay and day-long layover in Chicago, the Girl Scout crew finally made it to Europe! We landed in Amsterdam this morning and went right into touring the beautiful city. After arriving at the airport, we met up with the rest of our group in the heart of the city. The group consists of students from Canada, California and a tour guide based out of Germany. We began this morning with a brief bus tour of the city, followed by a cheese farm demonstration where we ate cheese that had aged for more than 5 years - It was delicious! After our cheese demonstration, we went on a boat tour of all the canals throughout the city, followed by our own free time to enjoy the sights. The city is very busy, buzzing with people of all cultures! I can’t wait to see what the next few days have in store for us! Tomorrow we leave for Germany bright and early, so we are off to bed. Goede nacht (good night in Dutch)!
