Framing the Concept

Today's NY Times brings the news that this summer's vacationers are "ditching their shoes and seeking out destinations that shun the gloss and polish of their everyday lives." They want "more authentic experiences than a five-star resort can offer them. This is completely about immersing yourself in a particular culture."

OK, I can go with that. This summer, I want to immerse myself in Canadian culture.

"They find that they want to immerse themselves in something they can't quite put their finger on. They want to be African or be Moroccan, a they see it."

This summer, I want to be Canadian.

Cat might prefer wildlife to culture. We owned a Siamese cat,which travelled with us from Canada to Europe. His name was Habakuk and he loved it!

You are quite right about this. Menominee loves the wildernes too. Although she really is a house cat, now an RV cat, she lives for the end of the day when we stop in a camp site and she can explore. Much more interesting to her than an urban neighborhood.
