Regular readers of this blog may have noticed a drop in posting the past week. Perhaps you asked yourself, "I wonder if Carl is attending Michael Jackson's funeral?", or, "Could it possibly be that he is in Rome for the release of Caritas in Veritate?" Fortunately, the former was not the case; unfortunately, neither was the latter.
However, I was away from my home base for a week-long vacation, splitting time between two beautiful but quite different locations. Here is a montage of clues; correctly guess the two locations and I'll start sweeping my traveling bags for bugs:
Meanwhile, I'm catching up on e-mails, work stuff, and such. I've printed out Caritas in Veritate, but have yet to read it; it is, of course, high on the list of things to do. For now, back to unpacking and wading through the backlog...
Hot Springs?
Did you go visit Tim Jones, world-famous and co-blogger at Jimmy Akin's site?

Oops!
Somehow that last comment didn't come out right. Let me try again:
Hot Spring?
Did you go visit Tim Jones, world-famous Catholic artist and co-blogger with Jimmy Akin?
P.S. - The next time you come so close to Acadiana, be sure to let me know - we can catch a L'Angelus concert and eat some boiled crawfish.

Third time's a charm?
Hot Springs?
P.S.S. - While you're here, we can get together with Fr. Bryce Sibley, who is pastor just down the road from Ville Platte. My pastor, Fr. Mario Romero, is the author of the best Catholic apologetics book that I know, Unabridged Christianity.
Ville Platte, of course, is the home of Chicot State Park, where we can canoe and watch the alligators and turtles.
Okay, I quit for tonight.

Nicholas: Sorry, it wasn't Louisiana. Both places were quite a ways from the South, actually.

Kalispell is in Montana. The 'welcome" sign looks like something from Wyoming. Where is the lighted cross in the pic of the fireworks? Hope you had a good time.

Yep, one of the locations is in Montana. But Montana is 145,552 square miles in size, so I've left a clue as too a fairly specific place in the state.

I'm not that familiar with Montana, so I'll just say welcome back......We did miss you.

Carl,
You were gone somewhere?
:)
Guess I should pay better attention.

Paul: Correct! Location #1 was Spokane, Washington. Location #2 was somewhere in Montana...
