Aloha, Bloggers

There must be a secret society of expatriate Hawaiians. I keep runing across them in the blogosphere. There's Kathy, the Claremont McKenna College senior at A Passion for Food.

Reading that blog turned me onto Rubber Slippers in Italy, a nicely done blog by Rowena Castelli in Provincia di Lecco near the southern end of Lake Como in the Lombardy region of Italy. Rowena's from Hawaii and married to an Italian. Her blog has gorgeous photos, receipes and travel notes. You can find interesting things like Sicilian cuddura for Easter time.

Home in France has postings from Barbara, another island expat who first went to France 17 years ago and who married a Frenchman. I've got the greatest admiration for anyone who can leave behind their native language and set up shop in a far off place.

Closer to home, next Saturday, April 28th, the Claremont Rotary Club is having their annual Taste of Claremont from 5 pm to 8 pm. Tickets are $50, and you can call (909) 447-7717 for more information.
