These photos are a bit late but better late than never =) The Amsterdam Gay Pride Canal Parade is a yearly event held in the summer usually on the first Saturday of August. I think it is a unique event for the Gay Pride movement because most of the parade events around the world happen on the streets, but in Amsterdam, the LGBT's strut their stuff on board boats and floats. The whole setting is grand, fun, special and unique. You can't walk around all day long in those. I hope she brought some sneakers with her =). I went to the Gay Pride Canal Parade with the Dutchman, the Dutch mother, the second Dutch sister and the eldest niece. Except for the Dutchman and moi, it was everyone else's first time. We managed to grab a good spot on the Prinsengracht, the main route of the canal parade. Thanks to the quick Dutchman. I knew it was going to be a hot day, and it was, on and off. Sadly, I cannot tolerate the sun glaring on my head otherwise I will get heada...
