V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.
Early tomorrow morning, I'm jetting off to Lusitania for a short vacation. Thanks to globalization, I can keep doing this blog, even on the road. But seeing that this is a vacation away from my normal routine, I am going to try to keep away from computers: no new posts until the 15th.
I haven't been anywhere besides Japan and the U.S. since spring 2001 (why, again, did I go to Iceland?), so I'm very excited to get the chance to expand my horizons and refresh my head. I've intentionally planned a vacation that's not so much "sight-seeing" as "site-being" - drinking vinho verde under the shadows of ancient castles, a billion miles from home.

Welcome to my corner of the universe :)
Be sure to try some "Aveleda" and "Alvarinho", I like "Três marias" and obviously "Casal Garcia" and if you like beer... "super bock" is the best, and it goes well with "pasteis de bacalhau" :) and if you need a english-portuguese eletronic dictionary mail me :)

All the best on your v.a.c.a.t.i.o.n. - here's hoping it provides a lazarusian sense of rejuvenation, while augmenting your understanding of cultural imperialism. Then, when you return, you can write a splenetic exposé on the real Lusitania, and how you discovered its' suffocated corpse amongst our crazy world of globalization.

Lusitania is a boat, dude. He's going on a Cruise.

He'd better look out for u-boats.
