A visit to Durham

Mon, 04/07/2014 - 9:39pm

This weekend we were in Durham, North Carolina to attend the Full Frame Documentary Festival. We lived in Durham for five years and it was wonderful to back.

Full Frame is always great and it was excellent to be in the Carolina Theater again after a two-year hiatus.

We traveled on Friday morning and saw our first movie at 1.00 pm. At night we had dinner at Metro 8, a steakhouse that our Argentine friends once recommended, many years ago. When our order was served, the waiter automatically brought the side of mayonnaise -- a Dutch tradition that they had not forgotten.

Saturday morning we went for a walk around the Duke Golf Course -- another recommendation by Belen and Esteban -- and then watches documentaries all day. Sunday morning we did the same walk again and then drove back home, about 5 hours. We had a great weekend together.

We saw several excellent films -- I'll work on the reviews and recommendations in a separate article.

Het regent, het regent

Tue, 04/01/2014 - 10:47pm

Here is a short sound recording of Nora singing "het regent, het regent". She is also showing off her counting skills.

Click here to hear it.

Nora, singing:

het zegent
de pannetjes worden nat
kwamen twee boerinnetjes aan
vielen op hun gat

Guus: Heel mooi, kun je dat nog een keer doen?

Nora: een, twee, drie, vier, vijf etc.

Guus: Kun jij een liedje zingen? Over mama?
Nora: mama, mama, mama... een, twee, drie... etc

At the end:

Nora: Deze lezen?
Guus: Gaan we die lezen?
Nora: Ja.

Photo frames

Tue, 04/01/2014 - 8:04am

Last night we hung four picture frames on the long wall in our living room.

It was a bit nerve-wrecking but they are hanging beautifully straight and on equal distance from each other.

The frames make the wall look very nice and it's great to have our own photographs on the wall. We chose pictures from our history: one from Antonio's, two from Haarlem and one from a year ago when we learned that we had gotten our house.
