Fantastic shots, Blackthorne. Is riding a camel as uncomfortable as it looks?

Thanks Lefty!

This one was easy and comfortable. I rode one in Petra (pre-fedora) that bounced me all over the place. it might have been due to the speed at which it walked, I just don't know. But I really enjoyed the slow pace of this camel. My wife and I have been joking about the color of this one...a blond.

Nice hat indeed, but that guitar! A beautiful D-45.

RLK, is that an "Oxxford Clothes" sportcoat that you're wearing?

Apologies for the late acknowledgement of your very kind words, Alan, BR, Steve, Mike, Jeff, and Ale. I appreciate them very much. Have a great day, everyone!

Super shots once again, Al! Is that your car? Alfa Romeo? Dang, that's nice. Perfecto hats, too.

Blackthorn, you make me want to buy plane tickets instead of hats!

Hey Al, only you would travel all the way to Florida just to get a couple more days to wear your nice Panama!

Meanwhile, up in the North, I recently rescued this Penny's Marathon from the polluted waters of that bay. When I opened the box it was pretty dirty, crumpled and the liner was rather nasty. I didn't know whether to throw it away with the packaging, give it away or send back to the seller (to be fair he hadn't misrepresented it at all, it was a BIN at an odd time of the day and I only had my phone to check out his photos).

So this morning, I fished it out and it cleaned up nicely. I blocked it to open crown and added my favorite crease style (which is why the hat is wet in the photo from distilled water spray) and the liner is soaking happily in my sink, having revealed a really cool logo.

Its a Rogers Peet "Parliamentarian" made in 1953.

Nicely rescued, David!

That's not a bad idea, Randall. Travel to cool places is time well spent.

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." –Saint Augustine

"...travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." Miriam Beard

"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted." Bill Bryson

Thanks, Randall - the hat came up quite nice. Not sure if I'll be keeping it or reselling.

Out with the ******s early afternoon with my trusty Tumwater beater hat
