zaterdag 9 augustus 2014 Up at 4:58. Hummus sandwich for breakfast. Watch MST3K: Cave Dwellers (again). "How Keeffe is in this movie? Miles O'Keeffe!" Down to 3rd & Union to catch a bus #16 up to Wallingford. I take my CPR - First Aid.

It lasts 4 1/2 hours. Saving Resusci-Annie takes energy. The #16 is packed, but I manage to get a seat.

Downtown, a protest against the occupation of Palestine is passing by my bus up to Capitol Hill.

Turn on Rick Steves for his program - 374: What's New in Amsterdam; Swiss Mix; Adventure Sports in Spain. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has been reopened after a ten-year renovation. Information on events and exhibits at the newly-renovated Van Gogh Museum. The Eye Film Institute is on the Ij River in Amsterdam. Information for planning a visit to the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam. Information for visiting the FloraHolland flower auction in Aalsmeer. Rick recommends visiting some of the smaller museums in Amsterdam, such as the ones about the Tropics, the Museum of Bags and Purses, the Pipe Museum, and the Dutch Resistance Museum. Rick Steves' guide to Switzerland. Wikipedia discusses the politics of Switzerland and the Romansh language. Radio Svizzera Classica, Rete Due. Agustin Ciriza's Gorilla Trip website. A route map to the Trans-Pyrenees hiking trail. A list of some of Granada's best cycling trails. A forum which discusses cycling along the Camino de Santiago. Information about the sport of jai alai. Chacoli, or Txakolina in the Basque language, is a wine of the Bay of Biscay region. The Verzetsmuseum sounds very interesting.

Turn on RTBF for a while. I love Salade de Fruits. C'est jolie, jolie! I take an extreme cultural right turn for the Mariner's game. White Sox beat Mariners 2-1 in 10 innings. Tandori chicken and rice for dinner. Watch Star Trek TNG: Starship Mine,
