A Suggestion for Your Next Vacation

If you are looking for a suggestion for your next vacation, and If you happen to be free for the dates of July 30-August 3, and if you can get to Clinton, Montana (it's a long way from nowhere to Clinton, but worth the trip for the look-see at the scenery), and if you want to own your town's bragging rights to having had the most unusual trip of the summer, then you might want to consider attending the Testicle Festival.

Could I even imagine such a thing? Could I make it up? Would I try to fool you?

This festival bills itself as "A gathering of people who love to eat food, frolic in the mountains, and just plain have fun."
And, of course, the piece d'resistance is the Rocky Mountain Oyster, carefully and precisely defined as "the testicle of a bull."

Check it out for yourself on the official Testicle Festival website: www.testyfesty.com where they provide a cautionary word of advice "No kids, no hassles, no brought-in beverages."

So go. Leave the kids and the six-pack behind. And have a ball! (Har-har-har!)

I've heard it all now. Trust you to find such a festival. I've been thinking a lot about you and your travels as I've just finished reading "American Journeys" by Don Watson, a most amusing and perceptive Australian who travelled all over the US by rail and road and has written a really fascinating account of his experiences. I'm sure you'd find it interesting, amusing and have other feelings. Greetings from Kiwi land. Cynthia
