Bacon on the Move Again

I haven’t been to Europe for nearly 25 years, but this afternoon the Bacon family will be embarking on a 10-day trip that includes a lengthy stay in a major European city, with a side excursion to Normandy and Paris. There will be plenty of museums to tour, architecture to view, one of the most popular beaches on the continent to visit and great food and wine to devour. My aspiration (assuming my wife and son indulge me) is to roam around and observe how one of the world’s great cities designs its urban space to be walkable and bikable. If we can manage to set up solid Internet connections, I’ll be blogging regularly.

This photo, taken from the Internet, provides a clue of where we’re heading.

    OmiGod!

    The Euroweenies will never be the same after Brother Bacon preaches the Good Word of austerity to them! Imagine cretins taking six weeks of vacation a year! And getting guaranteed, low price state medical care!

    But wait, Dear Blog Readers. Have you ever noticed just how much VACATION Bacon seems to take?

    I present a challenge. Why don’t some of you go back and tally up how much time he takes. You could do this by taking a look at a year’s worth of blog postings. He let’s us know everything.

    I think it is unfair.

      Two week-long vacations a year. I’m no Euroweenie! (OK, this one might be a week and a half.)

    If you are Paris, take the train to London. Go see the Imperial War Museum. Pay a London cabbie to just drive you around and point out interesting things. Find a pub with cricket on TV and ask one of the regulars to explain the game to you in return for beer.

    I did that one weekend and was very glad.
