Ambassade van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden

Well, I didn't really know where to post this, or if I even should. The photography is bluegh (yeah, I'm sure that's not a word!). I've turned into a total SLR snob and so I was "slumming" with the Fuji FinePix, which I'm only mad at because I USED to be able to take okay pictures with it, but tonight it failed me!

So, I'm a dutchie (well, my Mom is) and so I went to the Dutch Embassy in DC with my Opa (Grandfather - Christiaan), Uncle (mom's brother - Christiaan Jr), and cousin Justin (though he does have a brother named Christiaan III who we call Chrisje). I'm Christina, so see we're not to original when it comes to names .

Every year the embassy imports dutch stuffs like fresh herring and eel and cheese and almond bread. MmmmMmmm. They also throw nice parties whenever the Royal family does something important like marriage or births.


The Herring. (I don't like seafood!)


The nice people serving the Herring and Eel


Ewwww, Eel!


Opa eating his Broodje wit paling in front of the flag.


Three generations of Meermans drinking Grolsch, Heineken, and Coke, Grandfather, uncle, and cousin.

In case of an emergency you better speak dutch!
