3rd of Oktober - Liberation of Leiden

Every year, Leiden celebrates a holiday that no other city in Holland celebrates. It's 3rd of Oktober. This holiday is to commemorate the liberation of Leiden from the Spanish in 1574. The holiday includes festivities, traditional cooking, and lots of celebration. Although the traditional dish is Hutsput, some of us decided to enjoy some Ethiopian food instead. Hutsput was saved for another time!
