Peeps,
Back in Napa after an epic summer, so a big hello to all you wonderful owners who keep the FJ flag flying.
Naturally, there's a video in the works, but that's a ways off as I've so much footage to wade through and work is about to start again because it's time to pay for these recent indulgences.
Anyway, to summarize;
Lady Luck kept up with the holiday pace and made for a safe, mechanical failure free, 6500 mile tour of the Isle of Man, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.
The Isle of Man is biking nirvana. Imagine a whole island packed with your favorite things. Believe it or not, I saw about 8 or 9 other FJs and made it a mission to photograph them and annoy their keepers if they were lurking close by.
It really does rain a lot in Ireland.
Is Polish a real language? It sounds even more vague than Welsh. I heard the letter Z scores nothing in a game of Polish scrabble since every word contains a Z somewhere.
The mood invoked visiting Auschwitz is the polar opposite of TT euphoria
Prague is very pretty.
Dwell on the realities of the Berlin 'check point Charlie' museum's overarching message that walls separating people are never a good thing.
Caravans are a popular British holiday idea.

So there you have it in a nutshell; a travel adventure as diverse as this country.
Jolly good

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.
