It’s been in depth discussion this week….Orange or Spain? The Dutch and Spanish cultures are so different, yet they are two of my favorite in the world…I’ve spent lots of time in both and could live in either. Inquisition vs. Expulsion of the Calvinists…Amsterdam vs. Barcelona…cool summers vs. hot beaches…tough choice…Ok, ORANGE - the whole Inquisition thing still haunts me…

This is why Mike and I built Otalo.com. Check out the awesomest flat that Ali and I are staying in in Quebec…possibly the best location in the city, huge brand new loft with 25’ ceilings, exposed brick walls in a 150 yr old building, big-ass flat screen and wifi, great kitchen and washer/dryer, all for $130/nt…compa…red to the other touristas staying in mini hotel rooms for $250/nt… Find your next vacation digs on Otalo.com …now back to yr regularly scheduled programming…
Caught a great show last night by Great Lake Swimmers at l’Impérial…we had to decide between GLS and Iron Maiden and a Congolese Jazz quartet of old war veterans in wheelchairs…Gotta love a city that gives ya them choices…
13 is my favorite number,has been for years&years,but I’m diggin the sound of douze [12]…so is it the number or the meta label that’s key?

Vacation is about finding interesting businesses in the foreign cultures you visit…in this case the northern Maine mountains….just down the road from here was this store: “Bait, Bolts, Bullets”
Vacation is a family of ducklings following you onto the village footbridge…
Vacation is cruising the backroads listening to country music…”we love John Wayne, Johnny Cash, and John Deer way on out here…”
