This is really a great picture of WA giving a speech. The view down below is kind of moving.
Maxima looks quite neat, love the hair and hair piece.
Thanks for all the pictures.

Oh I'm so dissapointed I didn't make it down. My appointments ran late and traffic was awful so I just headed home. But I just saw them on the news and they looked wonderful and they showed a clip of WA speaking in English. The news said they made a $280,000 donation to the museum. They were given a key to the city. And also a real treat, they showed amateur video of when Beatrix visited in 1959 and she was seen going down the street in a convertible with the then mayor and governor waving to the crowds. They said that the Empire Plaza was built after her visit b/c they were so embarassed that the city didn't look nicer for her. It was interesting!

Paty, thank you for the videos! I love the way that Maxima was looking so admiringly at her husband as he gave the interview in the first video. I also thought that she was very charming in that interview, and I loved the way that she encouraged New Yorkers to get out and learn more about the local history.

It is not just on the US and Dutch tv stations,but also the BBC and German tv ZDF,
they ran the NY400 story and the Royal Visit in the morning news.
Great coverage.
Haven't made up your mind yet to go stay at the Big Apple this week-(end)?
Get in gear,and visit New Amsterdam Village,do the New Amsterdam restaurant week tour,
or rent an orange bike for free and tour Manna-hatta.
