Got up and packed this morn in Den Haag, and then went two hours with all the senior officials of the Foreign Ministry, save the Minister himself. Sharp professional bunch of about 20. Basically all the deputy and assistant deputy and under equivalents. A very cool audience to interact with. Felt very privileged. Started reading "Island at the Center of the World" on way home. One of the gifts. Pretty damn beat, though. Five talks and a meet over basically two full working days, although spread over three days, with one being right off the plane. The Dutch work, I have found after two trips now (Amsterdam last time, Hague this one). I hope I don't have to fly too early tomorrow, but at least this one is pleasure.
