Awww *goes all John Denvery*
Take a drive along the Shenandoah Mountains in Virginia.
South Florida is pretty flat. For unusual landscapes how about Utah? Bryce and Zion National Parks.
When I'm back, I will have a long weekend for Labor Day. I'd like to go somewhere in the US, some place where I can rent a car for a couple days and explore unusual landscapes. I was thinking about South Florida and Key West. Any alternative suggestion or personal recommendation? (Not necessarily requiring cars)
He's alive! And with no sounds of music!
Welcome back, Pro! Your enormous medical bills will be in your mail when you return home. Please pay them immediately or we will be forced to turn over your account to a collection agency.
Now, enjoy your trip!
Whew. We did it, team! Excellent work.
Now, Prolagus, sir, if you could just sign here on this stack of insurance forms...
*heart beats*
*beats again*
What... What happened?
The last thing I can remember is a song... An awfully long Austrian song sung by some voices that were... Just not human.
Yeah, and nobody cares if she has a myocardial infarction. I mean, she's bragging about it, for heaven's sake.
Wait--isn't Maria the one singing about the hills being alive? So maybe she knows something we don't. I say we track her down and get her to deal with the hills. She's the one scrambling about on them, after all.
I think we need to deal with these creepy singing hills before we can worry about Maria...
Well, that's not going to help get the hill outta here. ;-)
♩ How do you solve a problem like Mariiiiaaaa?? ♩
What? Whaddya mean, wrong song?
Do I really have to fjord *every* stream? There's so many of them. Shouldn't I be blowing them up to delay the pursuing Nazis?
Don't even get me started on the freaking rainbows. It's like a goddamned skittles commercial with cow patties up here.
We need more cowbell....
*bellowing*
"His heart wantstoescape every soooooonnng...it heeeeeeeears!"
Nurse dc is going to need help from the whole team. These hills have been singing for a thousand years. Come on!
*singing* "Youuuu hills fill someone-else's-hearrrrrrt... get awaaaaaaay from Prolaaaaaaguuuuuuuuss..."
*dons dirndl, begins singing to lure hills away*
"You are aliiiiiiive with the sound of muuuuuuuuusic, la,la,la,la."
*barrels past hills*
They're still here?? Nurse dc! Nurse plethora! Help me push these hills out into the waiting room!
*pictures reesetee in a surgical mask, with hands up in the air like they were just scrubbed and gloved*
Well, he could probably use some Viennese coffee, if he's still suffering from insomnia. At any rate, we've gotta get this sound of music out of his heart. Someone get these hills outta here!
*dons hospital gown*
Get that Viennese coffee out of the ER! It's the last thing this patient needs!
Asystole! Charging to 300.... Clear!
Pro! Pro! Can you hear me?!
(p.s. I just learned how to spell asystole. *beams with pride*)
*snort*
Charge to 200! ... Clear!
By God, you're right. Quick; we have to save Prolagus!
Plus, just say they do fill your heart with the sound of music. You're bound to have a myocardial infarction as a result.
...friggin' hills...
And the echoes from all that singing. Imagine the echoes! Plus they'd probably all be songs I don't like. For a thousand years. *shudders*
Tell their mothers - the mountains. And Grandma Everest.
How about the hills singing songs for a thousand years? That sounds pretty creepy--and annoying too. Imagine trying to get a good night's rest, and the damn hills are singing. What do you do—call the cops?
Right. Got it. Music = not creepy. Alive hills = creepy.
I mean, the music part is nice, but hills being alive? No thanks.
Yeah, it's a little creepy.
That always sounded creepy to me. ;->
Have a great time, Pro!
Ahhh, Vienna. The hills are alive, you know.
I'm in Graz, waiting for my train to Vienna, right now!
Well, that says more about rent in Brooklyn than it does about your trips, Pro. :) Hope it was wonderful! Still more to come, or are you settling down for the nonce?
Some people will think I am rich, since I have traveled a lot lately, but I'm not. Three months of trips have cost much less than a one-month rent for my Brooklyn room...
Wonderful. And more will follow next week!
Huzzah! I trust you had a good time?
I added the cities I just visited in the last week (the reason why I haven't added much lately).
It's not far--less than three hours by car (if you're not stuck in traffic). Beautiful area, too--the Brandywine Valley. Lots of history there. :-)
Edit: Which reminded me--Princeton, NJ and New Hope, PA are two great places to visit (although New Hope has become much more "touristy" and less peaceful these days...).
I'm not sure how far from NYC, I don't think it's too far, but anyway, Winterthur, in Delaware, is very nice: http://www.winterthur.org/about/about.asp
You are great. :-) Thank you all, keep suggesting/adding!
And mollusque, what about the Mütter Museum? Wouldn't Monsieur Pro enjoy it?
In Philadelphia, the Hadrosaurus exhibit has just opened at the Academy of Natural Sciences, the first remounting of the skeleton in 140 years.
It's an open list :-)
Also in the Hudson Valley:
It's possible to tour West Point (Military Academy) ( West Point
and the C.I.A. (Culinary Institute of America) ( CIA visitors
Both are worthwhile.
I will let someone with local knowledge of Philadelphia make suggestions about its particular charms.
The Roosevelt Mansion in Hyde Park, just north of Poughkeepsie. Accessible by train - about 90 miles from NYC. FDR home
Fun, scenic, AND educational.
Monsieur Prolagus hasn't been off the leash, so let's give him a virtual holiday, Wordies! Please list really holidayish...
- things to do
- places to visit
- foods to eat
- clothes to wear
- stuff to take
- things!
Pack your bags and we're off. Hi-ho, away!
