You are quite busy Donna, reading this all almost makes me tired wooow.
"They are presenting Coast Guard art to celebrate the 200 year bonds between Flushing, NY and Flushing in the Netherlands" great thing. When I am able i will surely visit it. You know Flushing is english for Vlissingen, btw?
"You Europeans (if I may lump you together) are quite a bit more liberal in your religious (or should I say secularist?) viewpoints. Wish we would trend in that direction" I must admit that (in my country) religion becomes a lesser and lesser part of our way of life. In some cities there still is a strong religious feeling with (in my point of view) a lot of narrow minded thinking. Things like abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage, equal rights are just normal and ruled by law. Must admit that I like that that way.
We dont have them here (in wild)
woow awesome song.
For me ur nr 1 in this race, with all your ideas and experiences!
Awesome voices. I used to sing an a "a capella"-choir about 25 years ago. It was a bit religious orientated and that is something I now dont like much anymore, dont have much with religion nowadays.
