Sofitel Den Haag The Hague

Delft is primarily known for its typically Dutch town centre with canals, also for the Dutch painter Vermeer and Delft Blue Pottery.<br>Thera drove us from Zevenhoven to this picturesque city in the province of south Holland where I was very impressed with the charm, pottery and the history surrounding the life and assasination of William of Orange at the Prinsenhof.

... and the US. The ICC rents the court room to the SCSL as well as providing administrative services. The ICC isn't conducting the trial for several reasons, but the main one is that the crimes occurred before the ICC existed and the ICC treaty stipulates that they can only pursue cases that occur after the treaty was signed (in 1998).<br><br>So, there is you legal lesson for the day, I hope you all now understand the sort of "stuff ...

... mijn blogs. Ik kan me de welkome afwisseling van het lezen voorstellen terwijl jullie tussen jullie dagelijkse beslommeringen en de dagelijkse stapels dossiers zaten ;-). Het was fijn om tussendoor jullie reacties te lezen. (ik kon ze wegens tijdgebrek en om technische redenen niet allemaal beantwoorden). Wij denken inmiddels na over de bestemming van onze volgende reis. Suggesties zijn welkom! Tot de volgende blog dus!

Too funny - the Brit boys came back late last night from the red light district, where they watched a sex show. They told me "Wow ... I didn't know some of those things were possible!" Apparently, good times were had by all! Laurence was listening to his iPod - "In love with a stripper" was playing, and we all laughed because Laurence kept talking about this one lady in the red light district, debating whether or not ...

... let me through. Thank goodness. So we are now in the Hague in Holland. It's beautiful here. It is about 10 times better than Italy. Everyone is so nice, and its cheaper, but beautiful. It is a lot more like home here. There are trees and grass the city is just gorgeous. The hotel has real internet and its free in the lobby. I am so excited about this program. I will keep you updated because I am predicting that it will be awesome.

... is this an actual word??), of such commonness (again, word??) that I will not stress at all. Meanwhile, finding an apartment in Rome is made of hell. Cheapest for two people I can find comes to around &euro;900 a month. I will not be paid for my internship. How am I supposed to pay rent? Ah well, it'll work itself out, right? For now I am hoping the Italian lady understands the word utilities...

... je ne pouvais pas partir sans avoir bu une Guiness! J'ai vraiment eu du mal à la boire au complet: ça goûte vraiment le tabarnak cette putain de boisson!*** En tout, j'ai eu droit à 3 drinks gratis. Ça m'a fait découvrir deux choses: 1) je n'ai aucune résistance à l'alcool - j'étais pas saoûle, mais pas loin! et 2) il faut planifier ses visites! Ce n'était pas une bonne idée de visiter la brasserie en premier, j'aurais dû garder ça pour plus tard! lol... Je n'ai pas fait grand-chose ...

... toppling...especially wearing any kind of backpack. I am sitting at an outdoor cafe overlooking a huge fountain with dancing water. The cappuccinos we ordered came with a delightful surprise..chocolate truffles! : ) I think I'm going to like this city. My life in Federal Way seems very far away at this moment. I do think of you all from time to time. Thanks to everyone who is taking care of various things for us. We will post some photos soon. Love, Debbie

... t so impressed, not really my cup of tea. But it does house Rembrandt's famous painting 'The Night Watch' which was good to see and worth a visit just for that. The Van Gogh museum I loved. There was so much about his life I didn't know, and was great to see how his work changed as he moved through different stages of his life and how his work was so influenced by his ...
