Paris has the Eiffel Tower.

New York has the Brooklyn Bridge. The Statue of Liberty. The Empire State Building.

Beijing has the Great Wall.

Cusco has the Machu Picchu.

Agra has the Taj Mahal.

San Francisco has the Golden Gate.

And Willemstad… Well, Willemstad has the Swinging Old Lady: Queen Emma. And this end-of-year, her 125th — SHE’S ALL LIT UP AND READY TO PARTAY.
