cannot know'
which can include an off beat restaurant on the way to Puerto . . .or an
off beat beautiful place on the way to ??? >>>
Actually there already is some of this sort of information in the
Florilegium. Most of it is in the CULTURES section, which in
addition to comments and references to history in a particular
region, also gives recommendations of places to visit, from medieval
sites to some food places. However, in keeping with the purpose of
the site, the information needs to have some connection to the Middle
Ages.
For instance:
England-msg (52K) 4/ 9/05 Medieval points of interest in
England.
Greenland-msg (20K) 9/28/02 Greenland history. Period points
of interest
Many of the bits of info originally came from this list. I do have
this file:
Nw-World-sit-msg (16K) 8/24/06 New World sites of interest to
SCA folks.
But again, these are going to be sites with some connection to the
Middle Ages. So I have some info on the reconstructed ironworks in
the northeast US, even though these were built later than 1600 CE,
but you won't find the reviews of the many interesting restaurants
that Adamantius has mentioned
I always welcome additional info. Either as a small email I can add
to a current file or as an article, such as this one by Nicolaa, also
in the CULTURES section:
Leicester-art (11K) 2/ 7/01 "Going Home" by Mistress Nicolaa de
Bracton of Leicester.
<<< or perhaps that Merrill Lynch
gentleman or a travel agent who makes it possible to finance that trip
to your favorite place or wherever . . .!! >>>
That is a bit too far from our medieval subjects. However, I have
saved some information on some organized tours which concentrate on
visiting medieval sites and museums in Europe which may eventually
find it's way into a file. Someday *I* and my wife would like to
make sure a trip, but a combination of having no job and the heavily
declining dollar is pushing out that dream.
