The Trees of Veenkade

It's been more than a year since we left The Hague: 15 months, in fact.  Since then, we've driven across the United States, settled into Portland, and gotten married - which explains my blog silence for most of 2012 (at some point, I will re-post my Oregon travelogues from the wedding website).  That was followed by two honeymoons to Hawaii and Japan {{awkward throat-clearing and modest blushing at excessive travel indulgence}}.  And then I applied for a job that will take us back to Boston next summer.  Never a dull moment.

In the meantime, in a fit of nostalgia about the Netherlands, I have compiled a year's worth of pictures of the trees that lined our canal in the Hague.  (Veenkade translates loosely to "peat wharf.")  It's the equivalent of posting baby pictures: these mean a lot to me and Jeff, and there's a slight chance that you will find them moderately interesting as well.
