Yes, I agree. However, the one holiday I miss the most is Thanksgiving, which they do NOT celebrate here. I really miss it! :(<br /><br /><b>Victoria:</b> I love that you know exactly what I'm talking about, even if Amsterdam is the one city most Dutch try to avoid that one day!

Among my favorite memories of that day is the band of middle-school age musicians who played on Kloveniersburgwal beneath the balcony of my friend's apartment where we had champagne, brunch and watched the street scene before going out to wander in the crowds. Another memory is of paddling in a two-person sea kayak on another of the canals closer to the train station in friend Wil's kayak... pretty scary considering how small we were compared to all the other boats on which parties were in full force!<br /><br />And I just LOVE all the pictures... the family with the face painting is by far the best of the collages but all are quite wonderful. I continue to be amazed at your photographic and artistic skills and always delight in my visits!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-55546113366581290022012-05-08T15:30:32.555+02:002012-05-08T15:30:32.555+02:00What a wonderful compilation to showcase the day! ...What a wonderful compilation to showcase the day!

I LOVE watching the Queen doing her city visits on TV. It's such a feel-good experience, with the involvement of her entire family. <br /><br />No, I've seen no bats lately...but Arend said he's seen them in the past. So they're not made up. HA.<br /><br /><b>Mad:</b> Maybe orange is one of those universal colors?! How fun is that. It sure is invigorating to see it everywhere.<br /><br />I found out this afternoon that they will be start in again on the neighborhood apartments in June.

There's a lot of orange in SF because of the Giants, so I see it on a lot of people here, too.<br /><br />I'm sure the bats will be happy to go back to their hold home.
