Set Foot On The Island Of My Birth

It is the end of 2017 after almost 7 years I set foot on my birth island, Curaçao, I am back. Everything and nothing has changed. My mother still lives in the house where I spent the last part of my teens before I went to university in The Netherlands.

Dogs

I arrive in the garage by car. The dog kennels are still there, but the dogs from my childhood are no longer there. The dogs greet me enthusiastically even though they don't know me.

Swimming Pool

I walk in through the porch (veranda) into the house. Through the large window in the living room I see the pool where I swam many laps and when my father was still alive a lot of BBQS were done by him.

The Garden

The next day I make a round in the garden. All fruit trees are still there. The mango tree has fruites. I pick one, wash it and start eating. This brings me back to my childhood in which squashes (Spanish apple, Knippea), sorsaka, pomegranate, cashew, apple dam, mango, etc freshly picked from the garden end up in my mouth. Well, even a balcony or garden with strawberries and tomatoes cannot beat that in The Netherlands. I am not made to be a garderner, most of the fruit and vegie plants died before they could produce fruites or veggie on the balcony.
