Here are some pictures from Queen's Day 2009 in Amsterdam. By now you may have heard about the attempted car attack that took place as the Royal Family's bus procession made its way through the city of Apeldoorn. The Royal Family was not hurt but 4 people were killed, another five are still in critical condition and an additional eight are in moderate condition.
In some cities, the Queen's Day festivities were canceled. Amsterdam's mayor decided to allow the festivities to continue as cancellation would have created an enormous public safety challenge with 800,000 people in the city that would have no where to go and all trying to leave the city at the same time. The festivities will end several hours earlier than planned.

Hi Simone,
Yeah the baby race was really cute to see. All the parents, "come sweety, come to mama, come to papa, come on baby..." It was quite cute.

Lenny - came across your site through the usual wormholes of surfing! The road has been long since Ein Tzurim but we're both hanging in and you're looking as fit as a fiddle! Very good to know.
Paul.
