This year it is in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, following last years success in County Clare, Ireland, and the 2001 event in Bouillon, Belgium. This year the dates are Saturday, August 9 to Sunday, August 17. There is also registration site and a members mailinglist. I'm driving from England, a 2400 mile round trip!"

To bad i couldn't find a joke to insert but ... There's currently a true tick-plague going on in almost the whole of eastern europe. People you'd better get that vacination now since it takes about three weeks to kick in. Pluspoint is the ticks concerned are not spreading the dreaded Lyme's Disease but merely Tickborne Encephalitis. English Health Information here Dutch Health Information here

2400 Miles

I'm driving from England, a 2400 mile round trip!
I always get a smile on my face when Europeans talk about driving far on a vacation. Or when they come here to the states and think everything is so close together. The look on their faces can be pretty funny when you tell them its a fifteen hour drive to Florida or a drive out west will take them a couple days. 2400 miles was a little more than half the distance we drove on a trip to Montana last year. It was nice though when I stayed in England a few years back that you could get to just about anywhere in 4 hours or so from London. That and being able to take a train there was even cooler. I'd trade that for all the cheese curd signs we saw in Wisconsin. :-)
