Savannah GA 11/1/07
Family:
The Holidays are upon us. Where did the year go?
Joe and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on Oct. 31. Not only did the last year go quickly the last ten just breezed by.
Joe, Sharen and I took a quick 5 day trip to Savannah. What a pleasant, historic place.
We went at the perfect time. The weather was 70-75, a little windy at times but overall very comfortable.
Spent a day strolling along a couple of the beaches on Tybee Island. We could see dolphins swimming just off the pier we walked out onto.
We also spent the better part of a day at the Bona Venture Cemetery. It is also beautiful and historic.
Savannah's Seafood Festival and the Savannah Film Festival were in full swing while we were there. We didn't see any Stars but learned that the Regrave Family and Michael Douglas were in town. We did get the opportunity to eat at Lady and Sons; Paul Deen's restaurant. That was the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. Next time we want to check out Paula's brothers restaurant and the Crab Shack.
We stepped into Paula's store next to the restaurant and meet her nephew Jay. Very nice and very cute! We ate so much seafood while we were there! Joe was in heaven.
We will go back. I think we'd like to stay on Tybee Island this time and be very near the beach. We had just missed the "running of the turtles" or what ever it's called when the turtles hatch and crawl out to the sea.
Now it's time for the Holidays and we are looking forward to spending time at Mom's on Thanksgiving Day and have plans to have Christmas Eve at our house this year.
See ya'll!

Marti, Bacardi, and Gaudi Tour 2007
October 17
Colorado
Final, Final Entry (Kind of like genuine fake as opposed to fake fake)
I would be remiss if I did not mention we encountered evidence of Martis in Italy (around Rome and Florence) all over Catalan Spain, and, of course, the bunch in Switzerland. So, apparently, Martis have been kicked out of several places over the centuries, but, I want to address the O'Briens and their ilk.
The Irish are ubiquitous. We found an Irish pub INSIDE THE WALLS OF THE MEDIEVAL CITY OF DUBROVNIK! INSIDE! Along the marble walkways, beside the stores of crafts, around the corner from the church. And, we found Irish pubs galore in the small port of Kusadasi, Turkey, and in Naples, and everywhere in Rome (across from Trevi fountain and across from the Vatican! The Vatican!!) In Florence, Irish pubs flourish in view of Michealangelo's David. In Barcelona, on a three block pedestrian pathway connecting La Rambla to the Barrio Gottic, there are FOUR!!
The Irish (and O'Briens) are everywhere. And everywhere they go they take their booze and try to foist it onto the local public at large.
God love em.
That is all.

Marti, Bacardi, and Gaudi Tour 2007

Colorado
Final Entry
We must get to the bottom of the Saint Marti story. We checked the internet but didn't find anything definitive quickly so we called our faithful guide from Florence, Felipo. He referred us directly to his brother, Father Roberto, who works in the Vatican for the Pope as a historian and political advisor.
We called Father Roberto and he gave us the straight skinny on Saint Marti.
We recorded our phone conversation with him.
"Hello. Father Roberto?"
"Si."
"This is Phil Marti. Your brother referred us to you. We have discovered there is a Saint Marti. Can you tell us about him?"
"Si."
"Will you tell us about him?"
"Are you Catholic?"
"No, but I wear sandals a lot during the summer, and we know Father John Lager personally."
"Papa John? You aknowa Papa John?"
"Yes, we do. He prayed for us at our wedding. He wears sandals, too, sometimes."
"Si, si. Yoo giva monee to deh Capachins?"
"Yes, Father Roberto. Many times."
"Alrightee den. Ahma tella yoo abowt de Santa Marti, eben do yoo notta good Catholic. Eben do yoo a heathen."
I took a deep breath.
"De Santa Marti, he wowsa poh parish priesta ina village by Barcelona, ina Espana. He wowsa bery poh becowz he hadda de five dowdas, and hadda beena marry two time. Twice!! He wowsanta bery smart. Butta he wowsa good man. He work bery hard and try bery hard, worka alla time. Alla time. Pray and work, and hava dowdas. And den, he haza worka widda hizza seesta who lives ina same town, of cowrze, and she keepa good detail ona everyting. Anda so, nows heza haffa two wife, five dowda, ana a seesta. Den, ina his church, heza has tree nuns heza worka wif evry day, de Seesta Jilleo, de Seesta Pameo, ana de Seesta StarzaInaSky. Dey waza needy and demandin kinda wimmens. So, yoo see, dissa poh fello heza surround bya de wimmenh alla hizza life. Poh fello. Wella, ona day de Pup, heza hear abowt dis fello, Papa Marti, and hizza whole story and de Pup, heza say' "Ow, dizza poh man. He musta be a Saint!!" And, den, whaddayooknow, de nex day, de Pup, he die. And de Cardinals, dey heard him say dizza poh fello, he musta be a Saint, ana de alla say, "Dis musta bin de Pup's dying wish, and so, dey maka de poh fello Papa Marti, de Saint Marti, de Patron Saint of many dowdas and many wimmens. And dere yoo hava it."
Indeed.
Go Rockies!!!
