the Palace and having tea. We had much to discuss with the next
visit, and there were plenty of questions to ask and answer. I'm not
sure how much I helped, but I had tea at the Palace.
From there, the driver decided to come back to Eggers instead of
dropping me off at my place. So I was held hostage for a while. But
I had a burger, hot dog, and cheese cake for lunch, which was all very
good. Sometimes changes are good.
From there we drove to the King's Palace and we walked around in it
for a while. I took some pictures on my phone, and hopefully I'll be
able to post a link to an album if they ever finish uploading. But
the sheer history is amazing. Today they are ruins, and you can see
bullet holes in everything, walls and floors have been bombed out,
it's a nightmare.
After that we drove over to the Queen's Palace, which is in slightly
better shape. Still not so great though. I took pictures here too.
When I returned to Eggers, I had a hot chocolate, killed about 20
minutes, and then walked to ISAF for a meeting. The meeting was
actually productive, and we had all the right people around the cafe
table. Nothing like doing work in a super secure Dutch cafe. Ha!
Long story short, the girls in the office decided to get me a cake for
my birthday. So when I made it back for PME (late), they had a cake
prepared. Everyone sang happy birthday, and it was sufficiently
awkward. I hate being the center of attention, and all the pictures
taken make me look ridiculous. Hopefully they never get out to the
actual internet.
Long day, bet time now. Good night.
