- Venice, Italy
- Niagara Falls
- The Pyramids
- Yellowstone National Park
davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.
A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
You can read dozens of essays and articles and find hundreds of links to other sites with stories and information about Ernest Hemingway in The Hemingway Collection.
The Grand Canyon is amazing! Forget about the touristy South side and head to the North side when you get a chance. Much more beautiful and MUCH less people.
Beyond San Marco piazzza and its basilica, Venice doesn’t get that amazing. The canals weren’t the stunning visual you’d expect, the pigeon population could use spaying and neutering, and the general stench…well, it really doesn’t smell like romance should. I actually found the canals in Amsterdam much more charming (but by then, I was in an awfully good mood). Beyond that, there’s not much there beyond the cursory gondola ride. Maybe replace it with somewhere that smells better, like Fresno?
