Our first impression of the city of Amsterdam came from the kindness of one of its citizen, who offered her guidance when we were looking at the map and trying to figure out where to go. We were both amazed at the kindness of the people and how eager they were to help even when help was not requested.
After we got situated, our first stop was at the Heineken Brewery where we went on a tour of the facilities and got a presentation on how the company was developed, what goes into the brewing processes, the companies focus on marketing, and the core values of the company, which include respect, enjoyment, and passion for quality.
Our next stop was at the canals where we took a boat tour of the city. We got a a good view of the city and understanding its history.
The following day, before we left, we went to the Rijks museums. The Rijks museum is located in a beautiful 1863 building called the Cuypers' building. Within the building the museum contains a large collection of Asian art, and the largest collection of Dutch art from the Golden Age including: Jacob van Ruysdael, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer and Rembrandt.
