Holidays approach

I had a really lovely day today with fellow ICTY interns Riley and Analiya. After watching the Sinterklaas parade wind its way down Valeriusstraat, we headed to a holiday bazaar nearby. The American Women's Club of Den Haag sponsored the event which was held at the very elegant Carlton hotel. I managed to pick up a delicate glass ornament (painted from the inside with a curved brush, featuring a Dutch canal scene) and a print of an etching. I also stumbled across mulling spices, so I dragged the girls back to my apartment for cider. With 30mph winds outside and flowers and candles on the table inside, it was a cozy way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
