1) The House of International Mystery and Intrigue; 2) the view from Scots on the Rocks

If you drive east some two-and-a-half hours and then north for another forty minutes, you’ll come across “The House of International Mystery and Intrigue”. Hang a right there and drive in a precarious road for another kilometer and you’ll arrive at Scots on the Rocks Annie’s lovely home in the middle of nowhere. G and I spent a week hanging out here, paddling, swimming, eating and drinking far too much, getting caught up with Annie and Baby K, fishin’ (well, fishin’ if you consider feeding the rock bass “fishin'”), and touring about the area.

    Nice to relax and swim at a place where there’s no one around!! If this place were in LA, then there would be billions of people crowding the lake!!ryc: oh, what a coincidence, I hope you and G liked Lang Lang’s performance…and the fireworks too!!
