The "village", which is situated on a curve in the road, consists of 3 or 4 houses, 1 restored former gas station (pictured above), and a rather large ramshackle but occupied structure which houses a local oddball / curmudgeon (pictures tomorrow). For a week in July, the wife and I - to be accompanied by the Cinemascapist, his the wife, Hugo, and my ex-the wife - have rented a summer house on a big pond / small lake (no motorized boats allowed) just outside of the "village" of Onchiota.
Many of our friends and neighbors are rather perplexed by the fact that we go on vacation / holiday to places that are often less than 30 miles from our abode. But hell, as I have mentioned previously, we live in a PARK and a beautiful one at that. So, IMO, the question is not "why", but rather, "why not?"
In any event, this July the "village" of Onchiota will have (at least) 2 resident curmudgeons, albeit I will be only a temporary resident thereof.
PS - these pictures are from a recent afternoon reconnoiter to Onchiota during which we purchased a dozen organic duck eggs from the pictured Antiques / Soda • Ice Cream / food & beverage / art / other stuff enterprise.
