Dutch shopping on St. Maarten

Wed, 03/04/2009 - 10:20pm

Bitterballen.St. Maarten provided a wonderful mixtures of French food, tropical beaches and Dutch grocery shopping.

The island was not "as Dutch" as Curacao was -- the island felt more American, and more French obviously, but there was certainly plenty of Dutch influence and the grocery stores had a lot of Dutch brands and Indonesian condiments such as ketjap and seroendeng.

A wonderful shopping experience!

Tickets for A Prairie Home Companion

Tue, 03/03/2009 - 10:05pm

Yesterday I bought two tickets for A Prairie Home Companion, a live radio show that will be in Durham in May.

I started listening to A Prairie Home Companion when we moved to North Carolina and got a car -- on Sundays I'd tune in to the show. It's a wonderful, mellow and friendly show and I'm looking forward to see them in action.

Last night it started snowing, and today we woke up to a white world.

For North Carolina, snow in March is pretty rare. Next weekend temperatures are projected to reach 72 again (22 in Celsius). Much better!
