    Well, took a while dropping off the TB and now it's taken a while to actually log it. In the meantime, it's travelled around a bit.

    Anyway, I took it on a tour of Amelia Island and dropped it off in a nice TB resort (GCP7DT). Meant to leave it off in the Amelia Island TB Resort (GCK0JN) closer to the ocean but got mixed up and went to the other cache. Not that it matters as it's already continuing it's travels.

    No pictures, but I did play the tune for my fiance of 2 days, BldeBabe, before putting it in the cache.

    Sorry it's taken so long to log and move this bug. Another few weeks and I can move it to another part of the country. Stay tuned.

    Harvesting bugs for a travel bug hotel I have planned in Westchester. Neat bug.

    EDIT: One thing about Beatles' songs, once the tune sticks in your head, it stays stuck. I've been humming it ever since I first turned the crank! For those who what to sing along:

    Michelle, ma belle.
    These are words that go together well,
    My Michelle.

    Michelle, ma belle.
    Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,
    Tres bien ensemble.

    I love you, I love you, I love you.
    That’s all I want to say.
    Until I find a way
    I will say the only words I know that
    You’ll understand.

    I need you, I need you, I need you.
    I need to make you see,
    Oh, what you mean to me.
    Until I do I’m hoping you will
    Know what I mean.

    I love you.

    I want you, I want you, I want you.
    I think you know by now
    I’ll get to you somehow.
    Until I do I’m telling you so
    You’ll understand.

    I will say the only words I know that
    You’ll understand, my Michelle.

    Well, it took awhile, but here we are. The weather here has been very cold with lots of snow. Today was in the 40's F with about 4-inches of snow left on the grassy areas. With the good weather here, we took Beatle Bug for a relevant tour prior to placing him in his new temporary home in New York's Central Park. First a trip to the Ed Sullivan Theater where it all started in the Americas on February 9, 1964. Then a visit to Strawberry Fields in Central Park. It is a beautiful area named after the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" in honor of John Lennon. It includes a mosaic donated by the people of Naples, Italy that includes the name of a popular Lennon song - "Imagine".

    • First, a visit to the Ed Sullivan Theater.
    • Second, a visit to Strawberry Fields.
    • Finally, a look at this beautiful Italian Mosaic.

    It is time for Beatle Bug to tour America. We'll start with an introduction to Ed Sullivan (or whomever is around) and send him on his way. In the meantime, I'll be listening to Michelle as often as I can turn Beatle Bug's crank.
