Just me and the moose and deer and bears and partidge and... sky. It was amazing. If I win the big Lotto THAT is where I am going on my next vacation. Been over 25 years since I had a vacation. |

Mass on Easter Day with trad. instruments and chorus. Watching snakes, lizards, butterflies like bright jewels on the red earth. Women with huge loads on their heads, brilliantly coloured dresses, hot hot sunshine. Bliss! |

I've done both coasts of the U.S., much of the Gulf coast, and three of the five Great Lakes. I've had to go way off the beaten path to find many lighthouses, and that has taken me to some marvelous places. Two of the best were Peninsula Point Light on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, that was covered with monarch butterflies; and Dry Tortugas National Park, a 75-mile seaplane ride west of Key West, Florida. -Joe- |
