Today was a good way to finish up Amsterdam and I think we had the perfect amount of time here. The day started off with another good Dutch breakfast... We need to try making Dutch pancakes when we get home. From there we we to the Ann Frank house, which was quite moving. Seeing the small quarters those families had to live in was unreal.
After we thought of trying out the tram again to get to the Rembrandt house, but since it was so nice out (again!) we decided to walk it. His house was quite a different experience than the Van Gogh museum, and fun in its own way (although I'd put the Van Gogh museum up as one of my favorite things here, if not my number one).
The last major attraction we saw was "Our Lord In the Attic." A much smaller sight than most of the other things we say, but very unique. For a while in Amsterdam, Catholicism was banned, which caused some patrons to build a hidden church in someone's house. It was quite a sight to see and will be very interesting to compare that so some of the old cathedrals we're going to see in Germany and Prague. Oh, and oddly enough, the church is located in the Red Light District too!
