He’s a big boy

Posted on September 21, 2012 by cyetso

And quite the hero to Norwegians and Ballardites. They claim he was the first European to set foot in North America, some 500 years before Columbus. He was the son of Erik the Red, and one tough SOB. He, of course, is … Continue reading →

You know you’re home when,

Posted on September 15, 2012 by cyetso

You go to the place you always go to. In our case, the Cafe at Ray’s Boathouse. We don’t go for the view –     And certainly not for the food and drink –     Who’s kidding who? We … Continue reading →

el Caballero de los Mares

Posted on September 14, 2012 by cyetso

The Gentleman of the Seas – And the answer is: The bust was a gift from the Consul General A.H.  of Peru, whose consulate happens to be here in town. Something is just a little odd about the whole thing. … Continue reading →
