We are settling into the neighborhood, which is very quiet yet bustling with life. There is a community garden, farmhouse and skatepark around the corner. The farmhouse has two cows, one of which is surely named Ned, at least one pig, and lots of goats and chickens. We found a bike shop down the street and several fresh produce stores nearby.
Ravi, our first official visitor, cam on Friday afternoon, passing by for a few days before heading on to Amsterdam then Liverpool. We caught back on with his jetlag and woke up around 6am, ate some breakfast and went to Den Haag Centraal to look around. After a few stores and a brief stint in Chinatown, we headed back by the apartment to get supplies for "de" Beach. We had a picnic and frisbee time on the North Sea. We also walked down to the pier, which has a bungy jumping platform at the end (will be done by the end of the summer). Saturday night Ravi and I headed to Jorplace Beach Hostel to find a pretty great party with a healthy dose of 80's American music and Dutchmen.
Ravi left this morning and Sara and I are meeting the boss for the summer, Colonel Murnane, for dinner tonight. We finally figured out almost all of the appliances in this little apartment, and are very much anticipating the start of work tomorrow. Look for an update on our work soon!
