...of Orléans. Strongly suggest that you read that article, linked in the first paragraph... After reading the front-page article of the new edition regarding Empire Theatres ' plans for the Orleans region, I'm concerned about the future of the existing Orleans Town Cinema near Place d'Orleans. I'm worried that it won't be permitted a future. This would be a shame, given the opportunity...
I decided to take some pictures of me in Orleans because actually I almost didn't have anything of me during one year - incredible! So, now you can see one part of one average week-end in Orleans which was really very lovely :) http://picasaweb.google.com/galya.khoma/OneWeekEndInOrleans?authkey=Z4LoScM2aws#
... in fact. I'm leaving tonight, returning Wednesday. That's six nights. The open is being held not at Binions this time--where the poker room was good but the hotel was crappy--but off-strip at The Orleans . It's a three-star hotel that's gotten generally very good reviews according to most of the travel websites I looked at. Cheaper room rates, good food, offers free shuttle service to the strip...
Today's route : 33 miles, 1300 ft. of climbing The last day. Another easy one. Less than 35 miles into Provincetown. We started by eating at Nonny's in Orleans.

She was there waiting the counter, and I would estimate her age as late 80s, but she was still slinging the coffee like a...
...Rail Trail at its start in Dennis. One neat thing about the trail: in Harwich, there is a rotary where three paths come together. Perhaps the world's only bike rotary. My parents have a place in Orleans, which they are seasonally renting for now, but they plan to retire here sometime late next year. We stayed with them there (the last renters of the season will come in tomorrow). They cooked...
Last night I played trivia at Honey Moon Meadory's tasting room. All by myself... Came in tied for first! I guess it helped that one of the 10 categories was about New Orleans. They gave me money, by the way.

...married to a Huron woman 11 Nov 1635, Anne MARTIN/MATCHONON, and the couple were among the first families established in the colony set up by the Jesuits for their Huron-Wendat converts on the Ile d'Orleans. Being married to a Huron-Wendat woman would have given him the opportunity to learn the language and culture, which he would have needed in his work for the Onontiio. The French appear to have...
Chris reports on his LJ that he has left the Delachaise . Thanks Julie, Uly, John and Echo for going back there with me, and helping expand the number of things I was able to try. And cheese.
