It was quite the scene. Amsterdam Centrum is basically composed of a semi-circle. There are four main canals in the downtown area, with the western half of them being the most populous. (Our new place is on the eastern half of Centrum.)
So the outer canal, Prinsengracht, was completely covered with people and a parade seemed to flow on it the whole day. Each boat had a different theme, and different music, so every minute or so you could see a boat with bank employees supporting gay rights, or a bunch of dudes, young and old dressed like Vito from Sopranos.
Plenty of dance music and guys in underwear for a lifetime.
It was very entertaining and pretty cool that the city came out to support the gay community. It was also just one of those things that you could not miss as it completely took the entire town over. See picture below.

Some of the best prose I have read in a long time. That made me laugh out loud. The months have gone by and still my jealousy of your living situation has not diminished. Cheers.
