A Meal Fit for a Queen, by Lauren

May 2, 2012

Queensday in Holland is one of the biggest and most celebrated holidays in the year.  It’s the celebration of the Queen’s birthday and Amsterdammers take to the streets in Orange clothes, accessories, costumes, boats, decorations, etc.  It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.  People put out their wares on the streets to sell, mark up [...]
