Meet Montel

You've seen the photos of Flat Mr. Hunter's "travels with Montel."
The real Mr. Hunter has posed a number of times with that noted theatre director, Montel Williams (aka Dave).  In this picture he took a peek into Dave's cube.

"I am NOT Montel Williams!"

Travels with Montel: A Bit of Paris

Before his trip, Dave had consulted with Mr. Hunter's caretaker about places to visit in Paris. Well, among all the other Paris standouts, the caretaker also had fond memories of shopping at Brentano's on the Avenue de l'Opera back in 2007.  But when she looked up the address for Dave, she found out that Brentano's had since closed! 
 Damn.  One more bookstore gone out of business.

Brentano's est fermé.

The Eiffel Tower was, of course, open for business.

Travels with Montel: Right at Home at Stonehenge

"In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing..." - Nigel Tufnel
In what seems like a moment of destiny,
Flat Mr. Hunter contemplated the mysteries of Stonehenge with Dave.




Looking at these photos reminds Mr. Hunter of that episode of The Amazing Race when the ever-quotable Vicki allowed as how, "This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Stonehenge, and I found out it’s a bunch of rocks."
Excellent!
