<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, Jochen, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s the word “relax” that stuck. What follows is composed entirely of prejudices and hearsay. Hard for me to imagine relaxing anywhere in the US, certainly not Florida. Bear in mind California is given to cold water beaches (because
of the upwelling) (the hotter California gets, the colder the beaches get) and Florida to warm water beaches (because of the Gulf stream. If I were wanting a Beach where I could Get Away From It All, I would go looking in Northern Michigan or perhaps some
of the Ontario coastline of the great lakes. But bear in mind that the food in Rural America is awful. Take your espresso pot in your suitcase.

<p class="MsoNormal">Now Glen will immediately read me out for sweeping generalizations, as he should. What’s the pleasure in making generalizations that don’t sweep? So every one of my SG’s has notable exceptions. But they are hard to find. The best thing
would be to find somebody you trust who knows of a vacation cabin you could have in a month that the owner isn’t using it. On the shore of Lake Winnipesauke in NH, say, only a couple of hours from Boston. The lake will be utterly deserted, except on weekends,
when it will be busy with stupid people on mindless water craft. June in New England has its hazards, of course. You could have two weeks of drizzle or two weeks of a thundering heatwave. You might try Nantucket in the off season. I don’t know anything
about that. There is a little town just over the border in New Brunswick where my family (rarely me) has gone for generations, Called St. Andrews. Terrible beaches, cold water, but a very pleasant ethos. And a 27 foot tide! Local pastime: go to the causeway
and watch the tourists cars get inundated. Don’t know about water temp on the seaward side of Nova Scotia. Any of these places, you could get lucky and have a hot June, get unlucky and sit in the fog for a month.

<p class="MsoNormal">We are planning a vacation in the USA next year, if we are still healthy and do not lose our jobs. What do you think is the best sunshine state to relax, Florida or California? Or maybe New Mexico? The best time for Florida is probably
spring or early summer before the hurricanes? Or is Florida in a crisis now too?<o:p></o:p></p>
