What place and what country

[Yorick]

I thought Niagra Falls wasn't all that great, but it was feckin cold when I went.

I have (had) 2 uncles and aunts and 9 cousins live near.
They've shown me it properly.

Hopefully on the Canadian side, because the US side is dismal.

S'the old tour guide joke innit? Americans have to come to Canada to see their waterfall properly.

It's a series of vignettes really. Lots of memories are snapshots rather than the whole time in a place. Looking back at photos sometimes I only remember the general place like 'that was somewhere on the south coast of Turkey'. Then there are the real memories like eating a evening meal in a beachside shack on Penang while the owners little child decided to dance for our entertainment or a little village on the French side of the border of the Pyrenees sat in the little square having something from the bakery before hiking off again there was a butchers shop with one of those chain curtains and out of an open upstairs window drifted 'Knights in white satin'.

Having fish butties from a little boat bobbing about by the Galata bridge in Istanbul, the guard letting the missus use Attaturk's toilet at his summer place in Trabzon.

A lot of them are about people we met and many involve standing on top of mountains.

There are memories too of places that are as vivid as the ones.

The Canadian side has the better vies of the falls but is worse than Blackpool, it's cheap and tatty.

The park on the US side is a much nicer place to visit (unless you think Blackpool is a Wonder of the World). Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe is a much better example of water falling over an edge.

I note that Brussels is not on that list!

That was work.

(But seeing Breughel's 'Fall of Icarus' in the Musée des Beaux Arts was a bit of a moment, having had to study the Auden poem as part of O levels. There was a bit of 'Gosh, after all these years I'm seeing what it was all about' and a bit of 'It's a bit small'. ).

Mingulay, a couple of years ago. One of the better days of my life.

That village in France.....something..... sur la glane... I forget now. During ww2 the SS went in and killed more or less everyone in the village. I think only about 6 managed to escape. The french have left it as it was and not changed anything

It made the hairs on my arms stand up.......defiantly had a atmosphere about the place
