Koninginnenach 2008

After my last post, I thought it was time for a more positive one so here's the photo tour of the Vaughn celebration of Koninginnenach (the night before Queen's Day).

The night before Queen's Day, The Hague offers lots of free concerts and other activities in the city. We had a couple of friends over beforehand for drinks and appetizers (Charles made guacamole!) and then we hit the town. Here are some highlights.

Before having friends over, we visited the Kermis or Carnival in the city center...



Charles won me some stuffed puppies so hopefully Remus and Berlin won't be jealous...



We also encountered a giant order of fries...



After some homemade guac and wine, we hit the streets which were crowded and full of drunk people wearing orange (the national Dutch color)...



But we were in good company so it was a fine evening...



You can see the rest here.

For the actual Queen's Day, we avoided the crowds in Amsterdam, stayed home and played Grand Theft Auto 4.
