Day Twelve: Day off in Den Haag

Rob and I decided that with all this traveling around we've been doing the past two weeks, we needed an off-day to just hang out with each other without being uber-stimulated by the new and the old and adventures.



We decided we needed a date night. A good old dinner and a movie kind of deal. It was perfect. We spent the morning and early afternoon working on planning out our trip to St Goar, Germany in a few weeks to meet up with our friends Dave and Kirsten. And catch up on my Cafe World game on Facebook. This afternoon we took the tram to Den Haag to see Inception. We'd heard some great reviews, but some people said it was a little too hard to follow. However, we found it to be very very interesting and intense, and no, the story wasn't TOO hard to follow, you just had to pay attention. I found it to be very similar to The Matrix. Ellen Page was great in it, I thought. Definitely a movie worth seeing the theater, and I think I'd need to see it again to fully follow the little details.

Two and a half hours later, we got out of the movie and made our way through the narrow, winding streets of the center of the Hague. We were surprised at how pretty the area was and it had some great architecture and the crowds were fun to watch! We went to this Mexican restaurant called Popocatepetl which Jos had recommended to us and let me tell you, we were PLEASANTLY surprised. We opted for the fajitas for 2, and they brought out two iron skillets filled with vegetables and goat cheese, lamb, beef and chicken, and 4 warm tortillas for each person with sides of guac and sour cream, tomatoes and lettuce. We got to build our own little fajitas and it was SO tasty. Would definitely go back there again. And if you bring your ID and it's your birthday, you get everything for free. So cool.

I have been missing date nights...
