It was great that Jimmy was able to join me on October 3 for this year’s annual parade in Leiden to celebrate the liberation from Spain in 1574.
Although we didn’t buy any, we were impressed with how this salmon was cooked at a booth we passed on the way to the parade route.
As always, the parade started with officials in horse-drawn carriages.
This year’s theme was
Learned Young. Several of the floats celebrated the 444th anniversary of Leiden University, the Netherlands’ oldest university.
Of course, there were also random goofy costumes including candelabras...
...and Lego police officers...
...and firefighters.
