I understand that almost everybody would...Hi Folks! <BR/>I understand that almost everybody would probably be more interested on surfing the waves this time of the year (at least on the Northern Hemisphere) rather than surfing the web. That’s why I’m most grateful to all of you that not only take your time to come here on my 401st post, but even more to comment on my posts. I’m truly over the moon. Thanks! Merci!<BR/><BR/>Titania,<BR/>Maybe my choice of seats on airplanes is a bit odd. I always ask for an aisle on short haul flights, and always a window on long haul; that’s because I don’t like to be stuck on a window seat and long haul flights usually have more space and make it easier to get out of your seat when you need it.. Travelling «D», «J», «A» or »F» classes, I mean… ;)))<BR/>I wouldn’t mind dining at the railway restaurant, but don’t think I would paint my house purple; though I’m living with Purple for more than 35 years… ;))<BR/><BR/>Neva,<BR/>Great to read that you love the UM and that your daughter worked there; maybe she was on the site during the Conference I attended…<BR/>32 years means 1976; on this side of the Atlantic we married on 08.08.1975, so we’ll commemorate 33 years on 08.08.2008, with the fabulous fireworks of the Beijing Olympics!! ;)) But actually our date is April 25, 1970 (38 years ago)!<BR/>Look forward to seeing your Niagara Falls; re-visiting it from our <A HREF="http://blogtrotta80s.blogspot.com/search/label/Niagara%20Falls" REL="nofollow">1983</A> trip!<BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/>I also remember those locks at the St. Lawrence River from our <A HREF="http://blogtrotta80s.blogspot.com/2007/01/vieux-qubec-august-1983.html" REL="nofollow">1983</A> trip. Amazing! I’ll check your blog asap!<BR/><BR/>Helen,<BR/>You know, the «pocket sun» from Portugal that I use to carry when travelling abroad normally works… ;))<BR/><BR/>Celine,<BR/>Thanks! The Saint Lawrence River is huge!<BR/>When I think that there may be some 5000 thousand of my pictures out there I feel a bit incredulous…<BR/><BR/>Lakshmi,<BR/>You’re welcome!

You must have some unusual attribute to find out what will be coming next… ;)))<BR/><BR/>Mariposa,<BR/>I can’t say they’re great pictures; actually their intention is to show something. I hope they do…<BR/><BR/>Pete,<BR/>Many railway stations? I wonder whether you’ll be travelling one of my dreams: the Trans-Siberian Express Moscow–Ulaanbaatar-Beijing… ;))<BR/><BR/>Z,<BR/>Thanks very much for your visits and support! I also enjoy very much your Villigen blog, and will look forward to seeing your travel adventures on your new blog!!<BR/><BR/>Sue,<BR/>You’re right. When I saw that house in Ann Arbor I thought to myself that it wasn’t the first time I saw a purple house; now you remembered me where it was. Great! Amazing all those churches; more than in Santiago, though not so remarkable… ;)<BR/><BR/>Noushy Syah,<BR/>As far as window seats, like I replied to Titania, aisle on short haul flights, and always a window on long haul! The reasons are up here… ;)<BR/><BR/>Lara,<BR/>Thanks! Hope to be able to keep posting, though I’m not travelling that much these days… ;)<BR/><BR/>Alok,<BR/>I’m fine, thanks; maybe busier than I would love this time of the year… ;))<BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/>I’m not so sure of the Starbucks in Santiago; at least I haven’t seen any… It seems however that they’re finally coming to Lisbon in 2008! People in Portugal are usual «café» drinkers but have resisted coffee with more than one «f» or «e». It seems the globalization however is taking over… No big deal for me; I don’t drink coffee… ;) <BR/><BR/>Vlahos,<BR/>Thanks! I was thinking to get to the Greek Isles once again, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get there this year… We’ll see!<BR/>Wish you a great summer also!<BR/><BR/>Paul,<BR/>It’s always startling (I think) to see what is familiar to us with different eyes. And I must confess that I’m always a bit appalled to see the traditional main street in US small towns; may be because one of the first I saw was the «fake» Anaheim Disneyland street… ;))<BR/>I fully agree with you on the train issue; almost all old traditional lines here in Portugal were finished as they’re weren’t competitive; now with the price of oil people are thinking again on trains; but this time is TGV (the High Speed Train)… ;))<BR/>Interesting that the JFK Library has that Papa’s picture running in front of the bull during the San Fermin feast in Pamplona!!<BR/><BR/>Lucie,<BR/>Merci. D’une certaine façon, les posts sont là à la place des voyages qui me manquent maintenant… ;(<BR/>Tu as raison: St Jacques n’y est plus mais j’étais moi-même surpris d’apprendre qu’il y a 100 églises à Ann Arbor… Pas très impressionnantes comme la cathédrale de St. Jacques de Compostelle mais quand même… ;))<BR/>J’évite toujours penser aux incidents quand je me loge à un hôtel parce que j’aime bien être là haut… C’est vrai que j’ai pris les photos derrière la vitre!<BR/>Finalement, en ce qui concerne les occupations, j’en ai assez, tandis que vacances, presque rien… Il semble que je réussirais à partir du 7 au 14 septembre prochain (pas sûr et surement pas où?)<BR/><BR/>April,<BR/>I «was» travelling at high speed; now I’m stuck! Regrettably!! ;((<BR/>I’ll show a bit more of Ann Arbor on my next post!<BR/><BR/>Dorothée,<BR/>Merci.

I think I’ve seen that purple house in your blog!<BR/><BR/>Catherine,<BR/>Great to read your comments here (first time I believe)!<BR/>I don’t count the posts (actually you probably noticed that I passed the 400th and only noticed it at the 401st, but when you get to the Blogger’s dashboard, it’s written there…;))<BR/>I also love to see pictures from the skies and agree that one must have a great sense of humour to paint his/her house in purple!!<BR/><BR/>M.Kate,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/>On the top of the world? Not that high this time; it was higher at the Concorde, flying sometimes at 60,000 feet… ;) Actually, it seems there is now a «Top of the World» restaurant in the crazy city named Las Vegas… ;))<BR/>I know I’ve to get to Cambodia one of these days, but you see «this is not such a small world»… ;))<BR/><BR/>Chuckeroon,<BR/>It’s not Santiago but it seems to have more churches… ;))<BR/>Scottish baronial looks pretty adequate to describe that old railway station disguised into a restaurant… ;))<BR/><BR/>Lynn,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/>Also love those long haul window seats; further to the movies, you also have the earth Show!! That purple house is incredible, isn’t it? ;)<BR/>I would love to get to Virginia (and many other places), but I’m now a bit stuck… ;(( I’ll try, one day!<BR/><BR/>Sususpetal,<BR/>Thanks for the company on this virtual tour! The problem of posting all these is that we find out how young and handsome we were in the 70s and 80s… ;)<BR/><BR/>Kyh,<BR/>You’re absolutely right: it seems they copied the old medieval styles…<BR/>I’m sure that your friends are enjoying the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor!<BR/><BR/>Wendy,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Kuanyin,<BR/>You’re very special; can’t compete with you on managing blogs… ;)<BR/>Actually my 70&80s and my 90s are far from being adequately updated… But it’s true that I always try to make my weekly round of blogs and comment on what I see! My rule is that I hardly visit a blog who allows comments without leaving one; I think the owner deserves it and probably also enjoys it, otherwise he/she wouldn’t allow comments… ;))<BR/>And thanks for the Globetrotting award; I take it as granted!! ;)<BR/><BR/>Priyank,<BR/>Thanks! It’s rewarding to see that what you do is somehow appreciated! Delighted to read your comments!<BR/><BR/>Fliss & Mike,<BR/>Please make yourself at home… ;)<BR/><BR/>Ron,<BR/>Thanks for the visit and first time comment. Look forward to read you here frequently!<BR/><BR/>Ted,<BR/>I must confess that I was reading the Michigan Law Review and had no idea on how Ann Arbor could be… ;)<BR/>I was also puzzled with that picture! The St. Lawrence must have some lakes and other rivers surrounding it so that it appears that way from up there at 35,000 feet… ;))<BR/><BR/>Steve,<BR/>You’re well ahead, actually 39 posts ahead and counting, as I’m only on my 401st…<BR/>As for the laws of the universe, I’ll just state that it’s not such a small world… for all of us on Earth… ;))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-66643507560441369882008-07-13T05:41:00.000+01:002008-07-13T05:41:00.000+01:00Interesting, my post today was number 440.

I had a number of good friends who graduated from U of Mich in Ann Arbor, but I never was there. I'm still puzzling over that photo of the St. Lawrence that seems to flow in a circle. Clearly, there's something I'm not understanding. So, what does it look like at sunrise?
