Queen's Day!!!

Orange, orange, orange: Queen's Day comes but once a year (April 30th).

A magical day to celebrate the Queen's birthday (not this one but you don't really want to confuse the commoners by changing the date just because there's a new queen), dress up all orange and sell all you can...



The canals were overflowing with orange-clad boats


The crowds were INSANE!!!

One of the many, many, many concerts

On Queen's Day anyone can sell anything--as seen here with dentist tools

Streets of Amsterdam at 6 in the morn


This is what the train station looked like!

On the train ride to the Hauge

We got these real cool hats on the train
(please note the shout out to Washington with the "W")


So we're walking to the train station to hop over to Amsterdam...and this is what the streets looked like...ALL OF THEM
