Kaaterskill Falls

Tue, 05/11/2010 - 7:40am

When we were first in the Catskill mountains 12 years ago I didn't know the Dutch history of the Hudson Valley.

Close to the resort where we worked are the Kaaterskill Falls. Kaater is Dutch for 'cat', Kill is an old Dutch word for 'creek'.

A trip back in time

Sun, 05/09/2010 - 5:14pm

Yesterday we made a trip back in time -- 12 years, to be precise. In June 1998 Sasha and I met each other for the first time in Tannersville, New York in an exchange program. Yesterday we visited the hotel where we then worked.

The resort changed owners several times since we were there, and sadly it's in pretty bad shape. Two workers were patching things up for the summer season and allowed us to go inside and take some pictures.

It was amazing to see the places were we worked that summer, and a great day trip.

Queen's Day

Sat, 05/01/2010 - 12:00am

Queen's Day.Tonight I attended two parties for Queen's Day in New York.

Both drew large crowds; there were hundreds of Dutch people, most of them in orange. Within 5 minutes at the first party somebody spilled beer on me; totally in line with past experiences years ago. It was a lot of fun; I especially enjoyed the second one in Mars 2112, organized by NLBorrels.com.

Queen's Day is my favorite day in the Netherlands, wonderful memories of Amsterdam.
