• Delft was super pretty, ob...Anddddddd here we go:<br />• Delft was super pretty, obviously. My sister said that it was her favorite place in the Netherlands, and it was definitely up there for me.<br />• All of the fancy canal reflection photos in this post are great, but I really love Photo No. 3 with the flags!<br />• Do you remember how confused we were trying to find the Waag based on Rick's stupid ambiguous map? I feel like we stood around exclaiming "WHERE IS THE WAAG?" for a really long time (and pronouncing it "wag," which I'm sure is wrong, haha).<br />• Ah, the tower climb. From what I remember, this one wasn't so bad? (Translation: I don't have any deeply negative associations and so it cannot have been a completely horrible experience.) Wasn't this the climb where we started chatting with a random woman (the one who you made take our photo :-P), who evidently had been climbing with her sister but at some point her sister had a panic attack due to claustrophia or the height or something and disappeared, but I guess the woman never noticed? And then her sister reappeared on the way down (because this was one of those towers with only one set of stairs) and started yelling at her? Did I hallucinate this?<br />• Anyway, I thought the views were worth it this time. :-P.<br />• "[A]dmiring the church (aka resting)" made me laugh because it is true.<br />• Also amusing is the fact that we immediately replenished whatever calories were burned by the tower climb by eating giant burgers and mayo-drenched fries. BUT this was the meal that I was daydreaming about several posts ago, so NO REGRETS. I actually just had the brilliant* idea to see whether rosemary sea salt mayo is something that exists for purchase over here. Because it was so good! And you know I love a good burger. Or just any burger.<br />• LOL at that weird blue heart-shaped blob that I made us find.<br />• We had a COUPON for the drinks at that little place and therefore we were OBLIGATED to use it. While your beverage looks moderately healthy, I 100% had a gigantic, cream-filled caramel latte on steroids.<br />• That pottery factory was cute. What did you end up getting? NOT a teapot, I remember that much.<br />• The Hague...was underwhelming. And it was so rainy. And the walk down that long road with the station in the distance was...not enjoyable. BUT despite all that, this was NOT my most miserable "stuck in the rain" moment of the entire trip! :-P.<br />• The Girl with the Pearl Earring was worth it, though. I'm happy we made the effort. Check!<br />• So glad you have a photo to commemorate the sketchy entrance to that Indian restaurant, which was WONDERFUL once we actually made it inside, LOL. We should pick random places like this the next time we go somewhere. They make for fun stories.<br />• I will forever think of De Bijenkorf as only "that fancy yogurt place."<br />• OH, this was the evening where the sky turned pink and everyone in the city was furiously taking photos! Yours turned out so well!! I can't even choose a favorite to command you to frame, LOL.<br /><br />*by "brilliant," I mean "fattening."Katherinenoreply@blogger.com
