Leiden is a very pretty town close to Amsterdam- everything is close by here. Antony and I visited the Rijksmuseum van Ouhedon *edit: Oudheden* (aka National Museum of Antiquities) which had a lot of historical stuff ranging from the stone age in the Netherlands to the Romans to the Greeks to the Egyptians. They also had a pretty neat exhibit on Nineveh and the Assyrians and they drew it in with the historical writings found in the Bible.
We left around 3 and we were both very hungry. So we found a Turkish restaurant nearby which was something new to me. It tasted amazing at at first but it was so spicy! Antony finished it for me because my eyes were watering, nose was running, and was coughing. He claims it wasn't even spicy. Supper was spare ribs which was very tasty, much better than Turkish food.

 These swans were funny. They came swimming over from the other side of the canal when Antony and I came. We didn't have any food but they were adamant to get some so I grabbed some grass from the sidewalk. The one was all for it, the other wasn't buying it.
