Green Anne

We stopped at the Hortus Botanicus-the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands and one of the oldest in the world. It wasn't very big but charming to say the least. From there we headed back towards the city center near our hostel, exploring and window-shopping along the way. Or as Mike said to me, "You're like a dog, you have to stop and sniff everything.

We kept about and decided to visit the Anne Frank because of its close proximity. We were limited on time there though due to "circumstances," as the door man kept telling us. They were closing early to shoot a documentary on the anniversary of what would have been her 80th birthday. We still made it through. Chilling place to visit. Quotations from her diary line the walls, as though her voice is telling the story while leading you through the cramped space.
