two photos

First, Hans and Frans. How could I not take a photo?




Second, yes that's me in a goofy robe. Apparently lawyers in Europe, and at the ICC, wear these robes in court. In Belgian french, they actually call this a "toge" -- a toga! Naturally, within minutes of putting one on, I got sweaty, started sneezing and coughing, and ran out of the courtroom. Thus, I sat there the rest of the time in only a suit and tie. Not a major problem though - seeing as I was in the last row, hiding behind a large computer monitor.

Is the robe made of . . . hemp?

I am conflicted...but there is something undeniably appealing about you in the robe...maybe it has to do with my dictator obsession...
