Knowing that the Dutch value their privacy, I've been surprised how many people leave their curtains wide open - even at night when you can see right into their living rooms. One (albeit British) coworker attributed it to Calvinist sensibilities. They ought not have anything to hide, so why close the curtains?

South Africa - November 2011
- In November 2011 we traveled to South Africa and brought Charles's parents along for the ride. We spent a week in and around Cape Town, a few days near Hartbeespoort and the Cradle of Humankind, a couple days at Pilanesberg National Park, and two days with my friend Stephanie and her family in Pretoria. It was a FANTASTIC trip! There are (currently) 78 photos in this album and don't include some of the great places we visited or people we saw. I may add more as we finish weeding through the approximately FOUR THOUSAND photos we took. Seriously. It was a great trip.
