DAY 1:

Got to airport. Rode the train. Found the apartment. Bought weed & hash. Bought a bong. Went to Dam Square and got Mcdonalds. Smoked a lot. Took a nap. Went grocery shopping. Ate food. Smoked weed. Met up with The Ryan 5. Smoked a shitload more. Went walking, got food, more weed & hash. Stopped at The Grasshopper. Smoked more with The Ryan 5. They went home via cabs. We slept.

DAY 2:

Slept till almost one. Left the house by 3 in search of Cannibus Cup registration. Waited in line for over an hour for our passes (in the rain). Realized we weren't gonna have time to go back and meet The Ryan 5, so we went to an internet cafe/coffeeshop/bar - had a beer, smoked a weed & hash joint, and e-mailed Ryan. Then we had dinner at The Hard Rock Cafe Amsterdam. I had the B.L.T. and bought a keychain. Went to opening ceremonies, it was lame. While there, we smoked a weed & hash joint, then left. Bought more hash & weed on the way home. Kelcey & Erin bought space cakes. Now we're smoking and playing card games.

Paul, Joe, and Robert just came over and smoked a lot with us. They were probably here for about an hour. It's late now although we just started smoking Top Tit & AK-47.

DAY 3:

Woke up at 12:30 again today. Started off with some hashish. First plan is to go to the market and get more provisions. Next might be Anne Frank or coffeehouse crawling. I'll let you know.

We went to the Anne Frank House. Depressing, but neat. We went to about 4 or 5 coffeeshops today. We used a vaporizer for the first time. Ran into The Ryan 5 randomly - they were headed to Amnesia. We ate at New York Pizza, then got some baked goods. There are lots of bags of weed in front of us. We're gonna get flagged and go into a beautiful room.

DAY 4:

Went to the Expo. Got on a frightening ferry to get there. Had to ride it twice because we got on the wrong one first. Smoked some excellent Blueberry Haze BC Bud at the Expo. Ran into The Ryan 5 - minus Ryan & Heather again. They led us onto a neat canal boat with a large vaporizer that some chic from Barney's Coffeeshop just kept packing. We were flagged.

Hit up some souvenir shops, got Mcdonalds at some point. Came home and got retarded again. I saw chicks dancing in windows for real tonight.

Quotes of the night:
ZOE: "Let's do something really fun!"
ERIN: No. Let's get flagged and nap."

We went to the Sex Museum and the Marihuana Sensi Seed Hash Museum.

DAY 5:

Smoked the last of the hash. We need to get more. We're also down to one kind of weed. Actually, we have a bowl of shake left. The female piece kinda broke on our bong last night so we have to only use the carb now.

Kelcey put some Holland tape around it, so we're cool to use it again.

We went to Heineken, Van Gogh, Vonderland Park, and the Torture Museum today. We had a delicious meal at some Irish Pub that took FOREVER. We got baked goods again.

We're about to roll our own joints. I've got 5 kinds of weed and honey hash in mine.

Quotes of the night:
ZOE: "Let's play Old Maid!"
ERIN: "No! Let's play eat till you can't move and go to bed!"

ERIN: "Let's find the guided meditation tapes and lay down!"

ZOE: "You're gonna fly home with the Old Maid and then you'll really be it!"

ZOE: "Let's play..."
ERIN: (in sing-song) "Let's play go to Rene's pastry shop before it closes!"

ERIN: "Let's find the place that they got the wheelchairs."

ERIN: "I want someone to take a picture of me singing Red Light Special in the street."

DAY 6:

Keegan and I woke up 5 min before everyone else. We were gonna go get coffee when I realized we weren't going the right way... so instead we ended up at Coffeshop Extase with 3.1 grams of Juice Fruit and 2 Hot Cocoas. I might be flagged already. We're going to the zoo today I think. I just checked and I have 400 Euros left. Sweet.

We did mad shopping at tourists shops. I spent a lot of money. I'll have to recap on what I bought later. We went to a flea market and also to several coffeeshops.

Quotes of the night:
ZOE: "Let's do something really fun!"
ERIN: (in german accent) "Let's go out in da ztreet!"

We just smoked the largest joint ever with The Ryan 5. You'll see pics. Then I rolled a nice apple something blunt.

DAY 7:

Woke up relatively early today and went to the Artis Zoo. I got good pictures for the most part. We hit up another coffeeshop and got Mcdonalds and came back home. We did some cleaning and now we're gonna go spend some money somewhere.

Successful. Got all my presents. The ladies took a walk to Coffeeshop Extase so Keegan and I could have "alone time". Wonderful. Keegan and I walked down to New York Pizza and whatnot as well. I'm so bummed that we leave tomorrow. We have so much weed and hash to smoke it's sort of silly. I lost the Xanax so I'll probably freak out tomorrow. Oy vey.

Quotes of the night:
ZOE: "Let's play a really cool game!"
KEEGAN: "Let's play Hide and Seek!"
ERIN: "Yeah! Hide and Seek Amsterdam!"
(other discussion)
ERIN: "Let's play find the green flag... and once you do, you go to bed."

ZOE: "Should I eat some Gouda?"
ERIN: "No, you should eat some Gouda bed."

*** Okay, here are my "after the fact" notes. When you read about us "getting flagged" or "being flagged," please note that the term "flagged" was coined by Cannibus Cup people to mean that if you are "flagged" you are incapable of smoking anymore weed... and supposedly, at the Expo Center, they had a "beautiful room" where the flagged people were sent. We were on this quest for most of the trip. When we did get to the Expo Center, we found no such room. Unfortunately, because we loved the term "flagged" so much... we used it to just mean "exceptionally stoned" and it pretty much lost its original meaning. The quotes you read by Erin are just showing you how many times she made reference to going to bed. The funniest thing was, that she didn't sleep that much. We were all constantly going... she just talked about it a lot. The Ryan 5, in case you didn't know - is Ryan Doyle, his girlfriend Heather, Heather's brother Robert, and Paul & Joe... they all live together. They booked their trip for the same time... it worked out very well! The bong did eventually meet it's untimely demise just moments before we left the apartment for good. We had a gram or so of weed & hash left that we hid on the top shelf in the kitchen for the people who stay there next. When we put the weed up there, we discovered that the person before us had done the same thing. Sweet! The day we left we missed our connecting flight... and our luggage ended up getting to us the day after we returned home. Me and Keegan's luggage happened to arrive at 3am. Douchebags. Anyway... it was the best time of my life, and if I could, I would move there in a heartbeat. Although I wouldn't be able to drive... and bikes overrun the city... I'd deal. Feel free to ask me questions... I'd love to answer them. Thanks for reading. ***
