There’s this little island in the Caribean called Curacao. I happen to know a lot about it because that’s where I was born and grew up. Now I live in the United States, but continue to keep up with what’s going on in there. This is from an [article about an...

Take a look: about due South, about 45 degrees up. (from Ben Gomes-Casseres)
