Excuse me, Mr. President

I love to vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine. I can understand why our President and his family are there this weekend.

I count my blessings that they were not there during the 4'th of July weekend, when myself and my brothers rode the carriage trails, watched the parade, and stood in line for some of the "best" ice cream in New England.. Crowds are one thing, and to be expected at popular venues. Crowds created because security staff have "cleared" a venue as "safe" for the First Family are another issue entirely. I'll be curious to see "reactions" in the Sunday newspaper.

Is it ticky tacky

I would like to believe that my sense of "taste" will never be brought under the sovereignty of reason. I have a level of taste for people, a visual taste, a taste in emotion, a taste in morality and a taste in ideas. Not all are equally developed or sophisticated. I would like to believe that I have a pretty good sense of taste for food, and a well developed taste of ideas. My taste of fashion is sadly lacking, and my taste of grace is almost non existent.

I took this picture of some wooden flowers in Bar Harbor Maine several summers ago. I spent about half an hour to get it right. My brothers questioned my actions. They left me to stand in line for ice cream. I eventually joined them. The ice cream tasted very, very good.

Eat the street food

When traveling, eat the street food. Travel books will almost always tell you not to, but generally speaking, when in Mexico, especially Puebla, it is entirely safe and can be one of the best "cultural" experiences of your trip.

Some of my favorites were cookies, some sprinkled with powdered sugar and others with cinnamon and sugar. There are also little cakes similar to rice cakes, except made of pumpkin seeds and other local grains stuck together with a honey/caramel coating.

It's a bad party when

You realize that there is more chlorine in the lemonade, than in the swimming pool.

For our family, summer has officially begun. My brother recently emailed me a photograph of his new grill. Today was the first day that could be called "humid".

It's a tourist stereotype, but it's fun, a hansom cab ride around Central Park

The first hansom cabs appeared in New York City in 1862. For a romantic carriage ride through the park, hail a hansom cab at the park's south end, across from the Plaza hotel. It's a quintessential NYC tourist thing to do - take a hansom cab ride around Central Park. It's a tourist stereotype, but it's fun and not something you do every day, which must be why everyone does it.

Holy Week ends the 40-day period of Lent

Holy Week ends the 40-day period of Lent and is the most sacred time of the year in Mexico. During this time, there are numerous activities, such as religious processions and decorations on the sidewalks with flowers. People may create small altars and palm crosses are ubiquitous.

In Cholula (Puebla), with its host of churches, the Passion Processions pass over vast carpets of flowers.

One of the most important religious and educational centers in ancient Mesoamerica, Cholula, Mexico, which means “place of those who fled,” is the oldest continually inhabited city in the northern hemisphere.
