Around The Hague

Unlike Geneva, our free time in The Hague was exclusively in the evenings (when everything was closed except restaurants). So, my photos from the The Hague are all from the walks I took around the city each evening! Tomorrow I'll be posting about the organizations I visited with the law students in both The Hague and Geneva, including the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.

Our hotel was at the end of this street

Monument Bomen (no idea what it signifies- Google wasn't helpful!)

The area we stayed in was home to many embassies (including Canada's, though I didn't get a picture):

The stereotype about biking in the Netherlands seemed to prove true here. You can see a bike lane in the photo below. I was impressed by the large numbers of bikers I saw in the streets, including very young children following their parents. I didn't see a single person wearing a helmet though!

These last two photos are from the Amsterdam airport; we drove from The Hague to Amsterdam to catch our flight to Geneva. 

Also, this post was meant to be published yesterday and then was lost due to technical difficulties, so... a belated Happy Father's Day to my wonderful dad, Vic!
