And yea the weather was so great on you guys too. I was in Chamonix at that point in the week. To bad I've missed it this year (that was a first).<br />You made me laugh about the fact that this is even more orangy than your halloween parties ;-)))) Cracked me up.

How disrespectful of me! Dutch royalty do keep a bit of a lower profile, I guess. <br /><br />But there's nothing low profile about her celebration. It does look like fun, except I think I'd not do well with the crowds. They used not to bother me, but after getting a little too trapped and panicky at a Mardi Gras celebration, I've been less and less inclined - especially where liberal amounts of alcohol are involved!<br /><br />Still, it looks like a grand time, and the bicycle race is such a good idea. Thanks for sharing this quite unusual celebration!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-18007020829550074212012-09-29T15:10:23.290-04:002012-09-29T15:10:23.290-04:00What a fantastic Celebration!!

I would be ok for a bit, but then I would have to get out of the middle of it. <br /><br /> I love your travel tips. Are you speaking from the voice of experience on #4? I hope you didn't bring a big purse. I probably would have my big purse and regret that I didn't think ahead and scale down on what I had to carry.
