van Gogh Museum
Sam, having experienced Amsterdam once, in the seventies, I was not surprised to hear your descripton. The van Gogh museum was a highlight for me, of course, and I wrote a piece about it that was published somewhere, I forget where. "Crows over a Cornfield" was, as I recall, his last painting, and everyone analyzed it, saying the road that ends abruptly portends the end of Vincent's life. I'm not sure about that, but he was a tragic, misundertood figure, who, if he'd had proper nutrition and medication, may have lived and worked longer. I was able to touch "Crows," although strictly against the rules. The museum guard looked the other way for a second. I'm sure now that all sorts of alarms would go off if one touched a painting. By the way, he painted three versions of "Starry Night." Two survived, if I'm remembering correctly. The other may have been used to patch roofs, as I alluded to in The First Starry Night, which you read before it was ever published. Remember? I loved your proposed title (you were just a little guy then), but publishers and I decided differently. The bike adventure sounds scary. Be careful. It makes me feel so much better to say that! Hey, it's what we worriers do. Love you.

Ah, to be young and just a wee bit crazy.... Glad to be able to read about your trials on the death bicycle after it happened and you were back in Swansea safe and sound. Curious about how you feel about the liberalism of this society. Good thing? Bad thing? Proud of you for exploring and finding your way in a foreign land. Can't wait to talk to you about it all. Thanks so much for sharing in the blogs! Would love to have you bring me home one of those "scary fellows" in the photo. Would look great on my new patio - think you could swing it? Ha.....

I love it!
Sam, reading your blog is like a history lesson. I really liked the bike part especially the sign. How are Americans treated in that part of the world? How do your peers feel about you? Keep up great blogs. I look forward to reading them everytime you travel and I know it must take awhile to get it written and insert the pictures. Pops

baths at Bath?
So are there still baths at Bath that people can soak in or are they just for looking at? Also do you think all the cathedrals will ever lose thier awe factor for you? Maybe you ought to purchase a good book on Welsh history - I checked on some at Amazon and it looks like there's some good ones. Pretty interesting history there in the land of King Arthur. Really glad now that you sprung for the good camera. Funny about the sailboat. I saw another one named Susie Q somewhere, Victoria B. C. I think. Keep traveling, keep writing.

Wrangling Over the King
Interesting that so many regions and countries claim King Arthur, a mythical king who may not have existed. But we love and need heroes, Men/women who can't be corrupted by political views. When I read from The Once and Future King, the part in which Arthur knights young Tom and tells him to avoid the big battle that is occurring the next day, I still get chills. Arthur tells the boy to (paraphrasing) take this light and don't let it go out. In other words, keep telling Arthur's story so it will endure through the ages. Romantic stuff, some would say, but we still need our heroes and a light of truth to follow. Everyone should see a good production of Camelot. It can still stir the heart. The photos are superb. Keep them coming.
