Kinds of a non eventful day in Leiden. Woke up and went for a run down to the polder park a couple miles away. The way there was on a canal, which was good scenery, but meh for footing. The park was crushed shells, which was pretty great. Nothing huge, but a couple miles around perhaps. Went for some pancakes next, not the fluffy baked ones I was expecting, but crepes more or less, and the size of a pizza. Enormous. And excellent. Unfortunately, most museums are closed on Monday, so we struck out on the windmill and a few more. We still checked out the old massive church in town and meandered around the botanical gardens and the university of Leiden. Took a break at home, them a happy hour at ollivers, which was a really cool bar. You kind of have to like Belgium beers if you are truly going to enjoy your beer experience here, but if you do, they never disappoint. Dinner at a modernish place along one of the canals; Lot en de Walvis. I had a pulled pork and rice noodle bowl, great food and decently priced. Swung by the billiards place a few doors down from us for a game of pool post dinner. I'm a bit out of practice and Kate's nothing to write home about, but it was a good time.
