Amsterdam: Gay Pride!

Gay pride in Amsteram.  



It's an exhibition in skin, dancing, fun, music and celebration. 




This year it was doused in rain, which didn't deter the crowds or those who came out to celebrate their pride!



It's hard to describe the energy that this kind of crowd creates!  Between the blasting music that each boat cranked out...each fading into the next, and the streamers, fog machines, confettie - it was a huge party, and it was only Friday afternoon!!!! I saw a sign in Leidseplein (known for being a party scene) that advertised "After party Sunday morning".  Sunday morning?!  That's an after party of all after parties!  Wow.





Check out how many umbrellas are out!  

And.....


They're not shy!





























Countries... REPRESENT! 



yeah... there were boats from all over the world, and all types of [gay] people!






Along the sidelines you'd find people with bags full of beer, smoking, and getting their party on! I have to say - Dutch people LOVE to have fun! They will party any time, and all the time!  It's amazing
