Joel went to Amsterdam for the Queens day holiday, one of the largest street parties in the world. About 2 million people descend on the city, the weather was perfect. No cars, buses, or street cars run. People do not need a license to sell and perform on the street, so it's becomes a huge yard sale and dance fest too. Pictures do not do justice to the wild experience.
