Pictures from Ian and Kat's Digital Camera: Ian goes to Queensday IV: Amsterdam, 26 April - 2 May, 2002
[Up to Our World Travels
]
Here are pictures from various trips I have taken to faraway (and
not-so-faraway) places.
For the fourth year in a row, I, a bunch of friends, and many, many
other foreigners descended on Amsterdam for Koninginnedag (Queensday).
Big thanks to the local hfh who threw all the
wonderful parties, and especially to Lisa Koonts for putting us up (and
up with us) for a week.

come.

- Queensday itself. It had stopped raining by the time I had woken up,
so it was a decent day for it. The orange; the boats; the canals.

- And for sure, the crowds. We tended to avoid the really
crowded parts. This is hardly crowded at all.

performing.

- Back at Lisa's place, for the day-after-Queensday movie night. We
watched "Takedown"
and "O Brother, Where Art
Thou?" on a Big Empty Wall. Don't miss the hammock --- I'd never slept
in one before; it's quite nice.
