Celebrating 5 May Liberation Day - Bouncing Amsterdam

Impressions of the day as posted in pictures below:
 
Paper tulips at the Rijksmuseum shop
Trying to get a glimpse of Rembrandt's Night Watch
(I have seen it before with less people in front of it)
Frans Hals's milkmaid was very popular
Surprise, surprise: Breitner painted my greatgrandfather's regiment 'Gele Rijders'
You can get yourself a nice dress with the Night Watch on it in the museum shop
Amsterdam Style of the American Hotel
Champagne to celebrate yet another birthday!
Amsterdam is gorgeous in the spring time!
Dresses and handbags made from tea towels
Ajax soccer club won: 5-0 - madness all over town
Having to return by metro was quite an experience with all the football fans around
The bottom painting by Frans Hals was my favorite today
 
 
You guys out there - come to Amsterdam: there is so much happening this year!
The Rijksmuseum is a wonderful experience
I cannot count the times that I have boarded a canal boat: it remains a wonderful experience
