My first visitor



Maria and I have always managed to combine our visits with each other while traveling in various places. We've made little trips together to Stockholm for the day while living in Uppsala, Pike Place Market in Seattle, Las Vegas, Tucson... and now Den Haag while she finishes her Master's in Wageningen!

We managed to explore my neighborhood a little further, starting with Indonesian food last night. This morning we walked over to the ICTY court for my first glance; the sight of the imposing security gate at the entrance has done nothing to assuage my nerves.

The rest of the day we soaked up the nice weather, having raw herring and onion sandwiches for lunch (Mom would be proud!), walking along one of the canals towards the shopping district, and popping in and out of a multiplicity of shops. I am now the proud owner of a Dutch phone number and an umbrella that will last through exactly two strong gusts of wind.
