Peter Timmermans 76 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 Great pictures, Kim. Thanks for posting. I had a great time. It was very nice meeting you and other palm fanatics from all over the world. A big thank for you and all others who organised this palm event. You did a great job. I didn’t know the word ‘palmy’, nice word. When I told my friends and colleagues that I spent a week looking at palms in Florida some thought that I had been drinking a lot of beers! The Belgian beer brand Palm is very popular in the Netherlands. We have the expression: 'een Palmpje pakken', which means having a Palm beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
