Cabot Visits Seguin, Texas

 Earlier this summer I went to Seguin, Texas. The town was named after Juan Seguin.

Seguin (/sɨˈɡiːn/ sə-gheen) is a city in and the county seat of Guadalupe County, Texas.  Seguin is one of the oldest towns in Texas. It was founded just 16 months after Texas won independence, and the frontier settlement was a cradle of the Texas Rangers.  See this link for more history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seguin,_Texas

Seguin is the Pecan Capital of Texas.

I'm visiting the Stremple Farm. 

The Stremple farm has been a working farm since the early 1950's.

You could get lost in here.

Is the corn very big, or am I just very small?

Isn't it beautiful among the sunflowers?

What a wonderful visit to a beautiful place.

Cabot Goes to a Medieval Festival

Cabot had a great time visiting the annual Medieval Festival held at the Cloisters Museum in Fort Tryon Park, New York in September 2012. This is their 28th year!

  


 Cabot met all kinds of exotic looking people!

There were banners and sword makers…

and more exotic people!

  




There was an odd looking dragon that kind of looked like a rat...

  


There were beautiful horses...

  




and a very nice view across the Hudson River to New Jersey.

The Cloisters Museum if the Medieval Art branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It contains parts of many real medieval buildings, brought here and rebuilt.

In the parking lot they were performing scenes from Macbeth.

There were knights on horseback and jousting.

  



At the end of the day, Cabot met a king and his lady.

But the best part of the day was when Cabot met Umber, a beautiful REAL rat! 

Welcome To Maine

From New Hampshire Cabot took a drive into Maine.

Welcome to Maine: the way life should be.

I'm at the top of Kancamagus Mountain. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous.

What a view!

I love making new friends. Here I am with Glenda and her piggy, Lucybelle Lulu, in South Portland, Maine.

Cabot Visits New Hampshire

Late this summer Cabot went to Plymouth, New Hampshire.

Here I am, lounging amongst some lovely lilies.

I went to Market Day in Wentworth, New Hampshire. I made friends with a 10 week old collie. I hope she doesn't lick me to death!

Isn't this car sign great?!

Amelia Goes to Wedgestock

As Nathaniel Rochester reflects on the development of his city. I'll reflect upon the fun I'll have at Wedgestock!

Located in the South Wedge of Rochester Wedgestock is a neighborhood arts, music, and food festival.

Isn't this a cool car?!? Petpalooza is a local animal magazine.

Did you know Rochester has its own roller derby league? The ROC City Roller Derby: because tough girls run in tight circles! I'm practicing a to cheer them on.

Time for ice cream at Hedonist Artisan Ice Cream!

Peach Brandy Blueberry Sorbet-oh my. It's unbelievably fantastic!

I'm having fun at Now and Zen. Can you see me?

My friend, Brian of Now and Zen, and I have an important discussion.

Human kids have camp-why can't dogs?

This neat building actually sells historic house parts! I always enjoy visiting the South Wedge-you should come visit too!

Amelia's Birthday

Today is my birthday! I started my celebration at Leonard Oakes Estate Winery. Their tasting room is just gorgeous.

Mmmm Steampunk cider. It's delicious and the carbonation makes it even more celebratory.

I had a glass of sangria too!

After the wine, I went to Zambistro for lunch.

I had the Mr. November: turkey with cranberry chutney and brie on foccacia with fresh potato chips.

It's fantastic! Mr. November is just perfect for an August afternoon!

I ate the whole thing!

After that scrumptious lunch I took a stroll down Main Street in Medina, NY.

I love the architectural detail.

They're trying to save this building.

This is the opera house. There are so many neat buildings here. I had a great birthday. Thanks for joining me. Here's to many more years of travel and fun.
