We spent a couple of weeks in Ripple (?) a few years ago hunting Bill's ancestors... never did find them in libraries, cemeteries or anywhere else. Apparently his gggg?? grandfather got ousted during the Jacobite rebellion and came to the USA around 1715 or so. But... no concrete evidence.

Admittedly there were a couple things at the Guggenheim in Bilbao that were kind of neat, and we took a tour of the Museum of Modern Art in Washington,D.C. with a Dosent, back in 03. Our tour guide (a Dosent, and there's a pun in there, but let's not) was able to explain what the artist was trying to accomplish, and most of it made sense. But I think if you need that much of an explanation?<br />Had to chuckle about the tourist info place. When we lived in the tiny town of Delden in the Netherlands there was a tourist office. But they were closed on Sundays! That's when all the tourists would come through town! There was pitifully little open on a Sunday, but I would have thought they could have at least had the tourist info place open. <br />Just head scratching stuff!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-83852446654437664952012-06-25T08:27:24.702-04:002012-06-25T08:27:24.702-04:00You almost had a restful sunday, but still and int...You almost had a restful sunday, but still and interesting tour and no rain.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.com
