One of Austin's cousins, Zoe, lives in the heart of Amsterdam so we planned to meet up with her for drinks on our first evening in the Amsterdam area. She took us to a neat cafe that had patio seating right by a canal and additional seating on a boat that was floating in the canal. It was jam packed but fortunately we arrived right when a group was wrapping up so we snagged a table on the boat. We spent the evening catching up and it was such a blast to meet her and get to know her better since I, Ellie, have not met her before.
