I'm a compulsive reader. If I run out of books, I'll read the toothpaste tube in a pinch. How to reconcile traveling light with lugging a library? One answer could be a Kindle, but I don't want to carry yet another electronic gizmo and charger.
Just found out that Amazon's Kindle software is available (for free) as a PC application. Downloaded it onto my netbook, and it seems to work very well. Special bonus: there are thousands of public domain books available at no charge, in addition to the current (eg, paid) titles. Who knows, I may finally read some classics I was supposed to have read back in high school.
Will still pack a paperback, but this Netbook / Kindle / Public Domain hybrid looks like a life saver. Big thank you to Katie, who turned me on to this solution!
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteOnce you make it to Maastricht you have to cycle over to Belgium to get the best fries ever!
Here is a link to my favorite place when I lived there:

I think the best cycle route is over the “Bosscherweg”
Try the Fries with “Tartar” sauce witch is a more accidic mayonaise with herbs. Order a side dish of “Zuurvlees”. Ask them not to dump it on top of the fries witch is the custom way of having a “frietje zuurvlees”…
Enjoy!
