Today I had dinner at a restaurant in the Northern part of Amsterdam, across 't IJ, aka "IJmeer" (or IJ-lake). On one of the pictures you can see a police-boat racing to the rescue and the last one depicts Amsterdam Central Station, seen from the back, or North side.

I really enjoyed the food, the company as well as the view...

Have a good weekend, y'all!

Saturday august 6th it was Gaypride, time for the Canalparade in Amsterdam. 80 boats participated, lead by the boat of the Dutch Ministry of Defense. For the first time "our" boys and girls were allowed to wear their uniforms, showing homosexuality also exists in the military, wether people want to stick their heads in the sand or not. Special guest was former American luitenant Dan Choi, who got expelled from the US Army. Not because he did a bad job but simply because of his sexual orientation.

It was my honour to be asked to join boat number five, the fairytale-boat. Filled with people of all (trans)genders, continents, religions and sexual orientations. It was a great and proud day!

Poetry

As light becomes day
and darkness turns into night
Two become one and all is allright

I see you when you leave
and I see you when you come
Our hearts beat as one
that's more than the sum

You came without warning
You left as you came
We played until morning
And I lost the game
