Amsterdam Gay Pride Parade

Amsterdam Gay Pride Parade - a boat full of Robin Hoods :)

This past weekend, Matt, our friends Joe and Ted, and I went into Amsterdam for the annual Gay Pride parade that was held on the Prinsengracht canal.  It was definitely an experience to remember!!  The crowds were large and the beer aplenty as we all watched over 80 boats float down the canal during the parade.  This was actually the first time that gay Dutch police and servicemen were allowed to wear their uniforms in the parade-  I feel like we are a long way off in the US from allowing that to happen and it was pretty refreshing. We even saw a group of American’s get married during the parade!  If you are ever in Amsterdam during this parade, I definitely recommend checking it out :)  More pics/videos here if you are interested.

Beer Bike in Amsterdam

June 28th, 2009
So about a month ago Matt found out about this great activity called the Beer Bike.  Basically 18 people pedal a big bike for 3 hours around a number of different cities, including Amsterdam.  And the best part is you get a keg of beer to drink while doing it.  Clearly we had to participate!  Below are a few pictures and a video of our time-  needless to say it was incredibly fun, although we definitely were hurting the next day!
Im having an awesome time!

Matt and I went to the AC/DC concert in Amsterdam on Tuesday with our friends here in the Hague.  It was a great time!  We went to a bar beforehand and then headed into the concert.  You can check out the pics and videos in my Picasa Photo Album.  Enjoy!
