Sea of Orange.

After a week of crummy weather, the skies cleared and the temperatures soared for Holland to celebrate  Koninginnedag [Queen's Day!] last week. Quick facts: the day is in honor of Queen Beatrix's birthday, and yes, her birthday is actually January 31st, but she kept it in April to honor her mother's day of birth. Touching? Maybe. I think it's just for the more convenient weather situation.

Holland goes a tiny bit crazy. Orange orange orange. Impromptu yard sales. Beer. Lots of beer.
