Sunday in The Hague…

We weren’t sure what to do on Sunday so I (foolishly it turns out) suggested that we spend some quality time in The Hague. For those who don’t know, The Hague is a city in the Netherlands. It wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t know whether The Hague was a city, a building or courthouse (it’s the de facto capital of the UN and a place one often hears of regarding international court proceedings).IMG_9394 (683x1024)IMG_9400 (640x1024)IMG_9393 (683x1024)I guess one must have to know The Hague well to have fun there. Poposuda, our navigation system, was profoundly confused by some construction there so even getting into town was trying (I’m sure I broke a non-trivial number of Dutch traffic laws in the process). We parked close to what we though were some landmarks and walked around a bit. It was nice to see bleach white Dutch folks getting their tan on.IMG_9405 (1024x683)IMG_9419 (683x1024) The kids played in a park while B shopped at a department store (and I enjoyed the sun) then we headed like a shot back to Heidelberg.IMG_9431 (1024x683)Next time we’ll drive around looking at tulip fields and/or see Kinderdijk.
