Boat trip in Alexandria

Thu, 10/30/2014 - 7:00am

Saturday we made a boat trip over the Potomac. It was a beautiful sunny day.

We started in Old Town Alexandria where we spent some time of the Farmer’s Market. Nora danced on the wooden stage with other kids. There was a baker with great sourdough bread so we brought one in the rucksack.

From the beautiful waterfront we took the next boat to National Harbor. Tourist season is over so the boat was almost empty. We had a really good time. It was Nora’s first boat trip. She was quite excited to go under the bridge. She expected it to open for us – that’s the way she saw it in the Netherlands – but this bridge was high enough for the boat.

We made a round-trip past the National Harbor and had lunch in Alexandria. We bought some Dutch licorice in a small store and then went back home.

De dokter en het lichte meisje

Mon, 10/20/2014 - 9:46pm

The main character is interesting. A world-wise, almost cynical young doctor at the start of his career in the 1950's.

The book is obviously well written but lacks the brilliance of some of other Vestdijk's works.

Shorter run

Wed, 10/15/2014 - 9:52pm

Left work at 4.55 pm, but didn't start my run until 5.15 pm so didn't feel comfortable running my normal route. Ran the shorter one. Still feels good.

Open house fire brigade

Sun, 10/12/2014 - 9:50am

Yesterday we went to buy some cheese and bread for lunch at Arrowine, and on our way back we passed through Cherrydale. The volunteer fire brigade there had an open house and we stopped by for a little.

Nora got a pink helmet and she sat in the big truck on display, an historic truck from 1959 from Tarrytown, NY. Many, many years ago Sasha and I went to the Volunteer Fireman's Hall & Museum when we were in upstate New York, in Kingston.
