It was a really hectic week at work so I'm a little late with this, but last weekend I had some more visitors crashing at the apartment. Ryan King, Dan Paik (and his brother) and Logan Daum coordinated their separate trip to all meet up in Amsterdam at the same time - Dan and Logan were on a multiple week backpacking trip through Europe, and Ryan was on a separate weeklong backpacking trip through France, the Alps and ending in Amsterdam.
The weekend got off to a slightly rocky start as my flight back from Hamburg was delayed for 3 hours and I missed the time that I was supposed to meet Dan and Logan at my place. They had to stand around for a few hours, which I'm sure was a blast, but we eventually got in touch via my landlord and all was well. On Friday I had to work and let Dan and Logan wander on their own, but then Friday night Ryan got in and the weekend had begun. We basically spent the weekend doing the typical tourist thing - lots of walking around, seeing the sights, eating and drinking. One of the things we went to was the World Press Photo exhibit, which started it's 2011 tour in Amsterdam. It was held in the Oude Kerk, what I think is the oldest church in Amsterdam, which made for a cool setting, and the photography was pretty great.
By Sunday I think they had all gotten a good feel for the city, and they were all scheduled to leave in the morning. It was a fun, but tiring weekend. Unfortunately I seem to have lost my small camera, so I don't have any photos from the weekend, but maybe Dan Paik will send me some of his when he gets a chance (hint hint, Dan).
