holland - part 4: den haag

because i had to go to the hague today to get our kenyan transit visas, i decided to spend the wait time culturally...at the mauritshuis, where the girl with a pearl earring is at.

i learned that there was never a scarlet johansson...that she's just a tronie.  a tronie is a dutch term that describes paintings of ficticious faces which painters made to practice facial expressions.  now that you know...you should use tronie in a sentence today.
