We’re off on a week’s vacation starting early tomorrow morning. I hope to be able to write this blog every day, most camp sites have Wi-fi now, but I can’t guarantee it and I’m not going to worry about it. Certainly, my facebook presence will be greatly curtailed, but maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe that’s something I need a vacation from.
Certainly, my Poems About Paintings page has lagged a bit in the last week just because I’ve been in the same rut for too long and haven’t felt inspired. Time to recharge the old batteries.
It’s going to be a very roundabout trip, with a lot of driving, but it will be interesting indeed. First, we are headed for the Netherlands, where we will stay in a campground by the beach and take a day trip or two into Amsterdam. Since I haven’t been to Amsterdam since I was young, single, and totally irresponsible, it will be a bit like seeing the place for the first time.
Then, we have to take Sam’s friend Robert home to Innsbruck, and we will find at least one place along the way to do a one day trip by canoe or raft. That’s one of my favorite things to do in the summer, and it’s certainly been hot enough lately.
When I get back, I expect to be refreshed and in a good mood to start my newest job. Starting Monday, August 3rd, I will be the Tarot Reader in Residence at Marie Brožová’s art gallery, just a few short stops off Old Town Square.
If you’re in Prague, stop in and see me.
