I retired in October 2021 and moved to France. Now a new chapter has begun and my mission is to show you tons of interesting places all across Europe. That's the plan. So, I'll try to create interesting little videos that show you why you should come visit and what to explore when you do. Our world is rich with cultural content that entices all the senses, not to mention the stomach, right? So, let's start cruising around and see if I can bring you micro-views of places that you have never heard of and ones that you have.

    You are very kind. If you liked HS “The Closet is in Your End”, I think you’d really enjoy John Cocktoastin’s album “The Rectum Trilogies”. Underrated butt really inventive stuff. Charlie Watts played hi-hat on the 2nd track just after he passed away. Killer work.

    Yes, perhaps. The trusting nature of it is … well, weird for me. Going up in NY, we never saw such things. But, I lived in many places but never saw them. Brittany, France is definitely a book culture. Those kiosks are everywhere. I’ve seen countless book signing events in the last year. IN FACT, come to think of it, I bought my house from an author.

    Thank you for this video. I am an American who was born in La Rochelle when my father was in the army (1958), but I have not been back yet. The sights here bring back memories of the many stories my parents told me about their time there. I spent the first year of my life being trundled about in a carriage in those streets and am told that I dined on French bread soaked in milk at many of those cafes. Thanks again!
