There's two or three truly excellent sushi places here, and we go often, but it's always a cause for word play when someone mentions sushi :)<br /><br />Thanks for the visit, Francene!Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-48645845164690069342012-04-30T14:27:15.774-04:002012-04-30T14:27:15.774-04:00LOL, Stephen :D Just for you, I'll post a spec...LOL, Stephen :D Just for you, I'll post a special explanation here...

Curacao isn't like Aruba, a prime vacation destination, and lots of people have never heard of it (including me before I moved here), so it's always a treat to meet someone that knows it.
