Thanks eleric for that link! Now I found out they're coming to Antwerp in July! Hooray!

I know someone else already made this comment, but my first thought was that she looked a little like Michael Jackson. It's a great shot--that must be a fabulous parade!

I so wish that I could have gone for a ride on her arm, too. What an incredible experience that must have been for those kids.
