We made it to Amsterdam after a mostly sleepless, but otherwise uneventful, flight from MSP. After about 8 hours in the air, we got our luggage (First we had to find a lost passport - long story) and boarded a bus to  Keukenhoff. Despite nearing the end of the season, it truly was magnificent! Tulips as big as my hand were there, of every color you could imagine. We were able to spend a couple hours stretching our legs and taking in the beauty before bussing it back to the airport. Once there, we boarded yet another bus for the roughly 30 minute trip to our Stayokay Vondelpark hostel. We got here just in time to get settled and have dinner - lots of good veggies and rich dessert. Not sure what the meat was :). The students have had a full day - they have mastered public transportation and been exposed to so many different languages and cultures already! Hoping for a good sleep and looking forward to really diving into Amsterdam tomorrow!
