We went to Den Haag on Good Friday for the “Pasar Malam” which isn’t really an evening market like the Indonesian name suggests but a small festival with Indonesian performances and lots of great street food you normally don’t get anywhere outside of Indonesia. So I spent most of the time lining up to get my parents of all the great food I love that they have never tried before. Of course we brought lots of stuff back home for Cherrie who had to work that day. Cora loved watching all the traditional dances with colorful costumes. Her favorite was the tiger dance from East Kalimantan. With beautiful sunshine outside we didn’t want to spend all day in the festival tent and being in Den Haag, of course had to go for a walk at the beach in Scheveningen. Cora loves collecting shells and when she came home in the evening after an exciting day she had shells of all colors collected for mommy.
The sunshine didn’t last unfortunately and Saturday and Sunday have been typical April days with anything from dark sky and hail showers to sunshine all within just a few hours. Nothing ventured, nothing gained so we took Cora out to the Ijsselmeer to Marken where I know she could see some little Easter lambs and search for her Easter eggs and treats. We’ve been lucky and it only rained when we were already inside one of my favorite cafes in Marken where Cora ate her Pancake with Chocolate milk. It was a beautiful weekend despite the weather and I glad we all got to spend some fun time together again.
