The culmination of my summer spent in Europe was a two week trip via canal boat in The Netherlands. This trip turned out to be everything I had hoped it would be. I saw lots of windmills. I used almost every mode of transportation, but particularly getting intimate with bicycling in the country. The restaurants and food shopping were very good. The architecture and old buildings were very cool. Most of all, I enjoyed the challenge of negotiating the locks and bridges and navigating throughout the canal system, it was quite rewarding.

As the title suggests, some people think I am a little strange. And for sure I like getting out and about! That is why I am the Odd Man Out.
These videos and the associated web page (OddMan-Out.com) are devoted to travel and exercise, or maybe exercise and travel.
