One week left.

Sweet Fancy Moses! It is cold outside. The beautiful Dutch weather has hit us yet again. The sun has made a brief appearance Saturday, but other than that it has been cold as ice, quite literally. The fountain out in front of the Tribunal froze over today, it was so damn cold. Luckily I only got a week of this left. Unfortunately, I also only have a week left here. As my time here comes to a close, I realize that I'm really going to really miss this place and all the good folk I've met here. Many of my good friends have left recently and the rest of the interns are trickling out this week, so the Tribunal was eerily quiet, as most of the interns bailed out on Friday.
As for this weekend, it was rather uneventful, save for a short trip down to Delft for a bit. I figured, so long as I am in Holland, I should see some local things. It was an interesting little village with a couple of nice churches and the grave of Hugo Grotius, the Godfather of international law. I couldn't let my time here pass without seeing him.


I told you it was literally cold as ice.



One of the two churches in the town square. The steeple appears to have been burned at some point


The other church


The monument to Mr. Grotius and me looking like a jackass.


It took some searching, but I finally found a pair of clogs big enough to fit me.


Another church in the town. This place was very densely packed with places of worship.


The Dutch know how to lay some bling on their bicycles.

And I am out on that note. More to come from my last week, assuming I survive the going away festivities. But, if I have survived three separate Serb parties, I think I can handle this week.

More to come.
