A Parade of 7’s...

In honor of Leiden’s October 3rd Liberation Day, I liberated the girls from school at noon so we could go watch the parade. Apparently there’s a different theme each year and this year’s was the Number 7. Not surprisingly, there were lots of 1970’s bands with dancers. Some of the other ties to the Number 7 were more creative, such as the Dwarf and the 7 Snow Whites. The above cycling veggie stand was part of a “ 7 Days a Week” group that also included women with ironing boards, breakfast in bed and laundry tubs all on wheels. At first glance the below “7th Heaven” seemed innocent enough until we got a good look at the larger angels who somehow don’t seem so angelic after all.
