It has been a busy, busy month so far - and it looks like the madness will continue for a few weeks - so I had little time to write in my blog. I also was busy this weekend (yesterday my best friends Birthday) and the previous weekend visiting the Haarlemse Honkbal Week 2008, an international baseball tournament. It's being held every two years and my friend Sander and I like to go there. I'm not a baseball expert, but I do enjoy the genuine family spirit of the fans visiting and the sportsmanship of the players.
Today where the finals (3-4 place: Japan vs Chinese Taipei), a game between Cuba and the USA. Last weekend the USA beat Cuba by only one point and Cuba was looking for a revenge, but they got beaten again 4-1. Team USA was a fine oiled machine as the won every match they played so they deserved to win.
After all the rain this week (and last weekend) we just had a short shower and then the skies cleared and we had a sunny, windy afternoon.
After the match we went into Haarlem and ended the day in style with a cigar and nice dinner. I had the best Italian pasta ("penne") in ages. Simple yet tasty! And with a nice cold beer it was winning combination as well. A home run for restaurant "La Plume".
All in all a perfect Sunday.
