Koninginnedag Amsterdam 2009
Yesterday was Koninginnedag. So we went out into the city to party. The weather was hot, the beer was cold and everyone was in a good mood.

1 Typical K-Day outfit.

3 We started off in the Vondelpark near our house around 10 o'clock. My wife wearing orange (just as I), our friend B wearing Adidas. The baby is B's, not ours.

5 At the Jordaan quarter someone is trying to BBQ.
6 Music!
7 Alien visitor.

10 Amsterdam singer.
11 And back home around 17:30 at the beginning of our street where our local pizza place owner is traditionally making a smoke screen.
The only thing that spoiled the party (afterwards), was an attack on our royal family in another part of the country. 5 people died because of that. In Amsterdam most people were unaware of this, since we don't usually party reading the newspapers or watching the news.

It brings back great memories. We lived in Amsterdam from 1987 to 1990 and enjoyed 3 Koninginnedags. The weather was gorgeous for all of them. One year, the queen passed by our house on the Keisersgracht. What a thrill!
