Entertainment

We have been out and about experiencing the entertainment on the island.  Now that the "no singing and no dancing" rules have been lifted, the music and bar scenes are staring to recover.  The rules for bars required everyone to be seated at tables with no more than 4 people. The tables had to be 5 feet apart. The rules put a real damper on people having a good time at bars.

We recently went to a pool side bar that had a band.  It was pretty interesting hearing Dutch speakers singing Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Rolling Stones songs accompanied by an accordion. There was even an Elvis looking guy that sang Elvis songs with a Dutch accent.  What a hoot!

We toured the local snacky bars...again.  These are really just huts/shacks or peoples' homes that serve beer and homemade food. Each has unique servings like "funchi" which is fried polenta dipped in a spicy sauce. Goes great with beer! Others serve ribs, goat stew, meat sandwiches, and fish dinners. These are located in local neighborhoods.  It is difficult to find them without a guide which is why we take tours.

We toured with a retired orthopedic surgeon that looks like a beach bum, a retired California social worker, a professor from Anchorage, a retired oil and gas landman who is really a land woman, and a retired equine dental veterinarian.  They all live on the island and are becoming our circle of friends.
