I haste past them as fast as crowds permit. The BM has a hall full of damaged carvings off the blown-up Acropolis: again, impressive, cluttered with rubberneckers all believing they are seeing Great Art, but all a bit Meh! To Venice, and we see: Like the Elgin Marbles, the Quadriliga...

We had such a fun family reunion with our buddies at Hood River last summer that we declared it an annual event. We reconvened on the Oregon/Washington border this past August for another long weekend of eating, drinking, and playing; this time we stayed on the Washington side and booked...
and to keep hands off the cave walls so we don’t disturb the bats. WHAT. Fortunately the cave is fairly short so going through it didn’t take long but as soon as you’re through it, you go across a suspension bridge over the Colorado River that...
