I nearly forgot to mention! Today is Queen's Day, which is Her Majesty the Queen Wilhelmina's "birthday party," and a day of national unity and celebration. I have one word to describe it: orange. VERY orange. Also absolutely INSANE. And noisy. And more beer than there are people, and there are a LOT of people.
As usual, I've got a few pictures.

| There were a number of live performers. I haven't the slightest idea who they were. |
 |
| The main square. |
 |
| The Martini Tower! With an orange flag and (you can't see it) the flag of the Netherlands. |
 |
| Beer stalls. |
 |
| I haven't the slightest idea why, but they had places set up near the school buildings for chess tournaments. |
At this point, I fear my hands were too full of Heineken and ice cream to continue to take photographs. My apologies. :)
