May Fifth is Independence Day in the Netherlands. In the Middle Ages rooting out Satan was always good for a celebration; now it’s ridding the country of Nazis. We took a Delft canal stroll and by dinner time we were at Doelenplein where there was a soundstage entertaining the crowd drinking and dancing.
It wasn’t Cinque de Mayo Mexican-style—more restrained—but as the sun set it got louder as the band featured singers who could really wail.
Back along the canals it was quiet again.
