Travels

As the novelist and poet, William Burrough, in a wry moment wrote . . ."After one look at this planet, any visitor from outer space would say---

"I want to see the manager."

The beautiful homes you see are from Joyce and Ken who are back in Ecuador. That is Ken standing beside a beautiful tree. One is the home they are renting and the other belongs to their landlord. I think their town is called Cuenca. It looks like a lovely place to be.

The other pictures came in on an e-mail about hotels and where to stay in your travels. There is the Jumbo Jet Hotel in Sweden, which is a novel idea, and I'd like a tour to see what it looks like inside. The one room showing looks a bit crowded and I don't want the inside bed. Wonder how many compartments they made, and does it have a dining area ? . . . just more questions than answers.

The sewer pipe in Austria is cute. We should all have one in the back yard for company.

The orange survival pods in Holland are interesting. I wonder if they expect some kind of disaster. They look claustrophobic to me, as does the Japanese wall units. I couldn't be paid to stay in those. All in all it is interesting to find out how 'the other half lives' and I think I'll stay at one of the larger hotels when I travel. I like having a big room all to myself, a four star restaurant to dine in and a few penny machines wouldn't hurt my feelings at all.

So today, if your are out and about traveling, look for the 'different' and see if you can find something that will set your mind and heart to racing. If you are at home, there is always the travel channel or you can stop and pick up some colorful brochures at your travel agency and set off for an mind adventure of your very own. Winter arm chair travel isn't all bad. Take good care today as you go out and about in your kind of weather. We are stormy but not cold, warm in fact and I have one bush flowering, insane this time of year, but then this year has been insane to begin with. I'm off to make my coffee . . . want a cup? Well, just come on by, the door is open. Hugs to all.
