Lots of water around here

Posted on May 7, 2026 by Ella

We’ve been spending time with friends. Yesterday Esther here in Delft. Today, Hendrik and Gina in den Haag (The Hague). Fuller posts coming soon. For now, more canals…

Not a canal but what Grubb loves about den Haag is this brodje stand. He goes for the herring

    So beautiful, so envious. How do the locals pronounce Haag? We have Egyptian geese living for generations in Lake Balboa, Ella’s old territory.

      To my untrained ear…Haag is pronounced sort of with a hah. Hahg where the g is a slight guttural sound. And wow, there are Egyptian geese around Lake Balboa? I don’t think I ever saw them.
