Yesterday the four of us went to see Moms friend from college Jim and his wife Juile.  They have two sons that are 17 and 13.  They live in a small village called Wassenaar.  It is about 20 minutes away from The Hague.  

We arrived at their house around lunch time.  They made us a very delicious lunch.  We had some Dutch yogurt type thing called quark. We also had really yummy chocolates for dessert, they were possibly the most delicious things ever made.  

After lunch we walked to the center of the town.  It has a really cute downtown area with lots of little shops and restaurants.  While we were exploring the town we went into the grocery store so that Julie could show my mom  what different foods look like.  We have been having a difficult time finding certain products at the store, so this was very helpful. 

After we did some shopping we went to the beach.  It is located on the North Sea, and is a cold beach.  It reminded me of the beaches in Alaska.  The wind was blowing pretty hard, so we didn't stay for very long.  After getting home from the beach we ordered some pizzas for dinner.  Then we took the train back to Amsterdam.
