I just finished reading Tana French’s novel, Faithful Place. Here’s my video review.
I recommend this book for those of you who want to rise above the typical murder mystery. The family drama as well as the location add greater depth and dimension to the genre. Keep reading!
Pastechi are little pockets of fried goodness filled with various things such as ham and cheese, or fish, and so on. They vary in size and type depending upon where you get them. When I’m in the mood for a pastechi fix, I stop at the Tia Rosa snack truck located near the Pos Chiquito circle. Here’s a video showing how to get there and just exactly what a pastechi is.
Well, there you have it, pastechi inside and out. More video to come from Aruba, so stay tuned.
When first-time visitors join me in Aruba, I like to take them on a drive to the top of the hill in Savaneta. There’s a water storage tank up there, delivering delicious (and precious) drinking water to the area below. You can also see most of the southern end of the island, including San Nicolaas, the oil refinery, the loading dock nearby, and all the neighborhoods up as far as Pos Chiquito and a little farther to the ships in the nearby anchorage. Here’s a video with driving directions on how to get there and a sweeping panorama of the view. If you have a fast internet connection, watch it in the highest resolution possible for maximum enjoyment.
That was worth the drive, wasn’t it? I like going up there every once in a while for sunset, too. On the right day, it’s spectacular. Bon dia.

Live More, Want Less (book review)
Live More, Want Less is that rare self-help book that delivers on its promises. If you’re looking to “declutter” your life, then this is the book for you. Not only does it provide lessons on getting rid of the “stuff,” it also gives excellent daily tasks to reinforce the message. Here’s my video review:
As I said in that video, less is not more. Less is less. However, if you get the most out of something, you’re actually maximizing the potential, which is what this book is all about. And I’m all for that. Thanks to Mary Carlomagno for a useful tome that we can all learn from.
