QUEENS DAY everyone wears orange

CENTRAL STATION...We took the Metro to Central Station
And then we walked.....and walked....and walked. By the end of the day it was shoulder to shoulder.
As we walked over a bridge this is the first we saw as we crossed over the canal
This kid was probably about 15 years old....man could he play the drums.
Half way through the day Ben, Ruth and the children headed back home while Marv and I stayed. This is a concert we walked right in the middle of...you could feel their enthusiasm.
One of the highlights of the day was taking a canal cruise which should have lasted 75 minutes, but because of Queens day and all the boats on the canal, it lasted a couple hours. We were delighted! People on other boats would talk with us, wave, dance, sing, play musical instruments.



Another concert outside the Hard Rock Cafe as we waited for our number to be called. As we stood there two young ladies came up to us and gave us hugs..."I like you". They continued to stand very close and talk....we kept our personal items very close thinking they might be pick pocketers. Dad said "oh, are number is ready so we need to go in...by". Wew...quite an experience. Then when we went in side to wait another gentleman came over and told us about the tragedy where a man tried to hit the queens bus with his car and killed several pedestrians.

We ended our day at the Hard Rock Cafe! We split a meal and nachos...delicious and the waiter was very friendly as we talked about foot ball teams....and BYU. He was originally from Oregon.
