Queen's Day

The biggest day of the year in the Netherlands is April 30th: Queen's Day. It celebrates the birthday of the queen mother and the day of ascencion of the current queen. It is a day full of tons of orange and all sorts of fun! Brent and I went to Amsterdam and braved the crowds. The city was full of bands and DJ's all over with people dancing and partying in the streets and in the canals. It was fun day! And even better because I got three days off of work!


Usually you have to pay for public toilets but the holiday brought a gift!


The "Queen" and I


The canals were full of orange-clad celebrationists!
