When you enter the door you step into the 1920's, only with WIFI, flat panel TVs, memory foam beds and A/C. The rooms, lounges and sitting areas are fabulously decorated with 1900-1940 period furnishings. Breakfast in the large ornate dining room was a highlight. If you appreciate history or just want an Old Florida experience, the Chateau de Lafayette is worth going out of your way for. If you will stay in the Mayo/Perry area, I don't believe you could find a nicer place to stay.

2500 year old philosophical debate solved in the paradox of Florida's Suwannee River Rendezvous…read more Meaning who the heck cares? But, for those few budding philosophers in the Good Will Hunting Department or those with Big Lebowski Overachiever tendencies looking for meaning behind the veil of humanity, or a deeper understanding to the mysteries of life, well, gather ye "Rosebuds" and rendezvous with me on Florida's Suwannee River, and give them a Citizen Kane send off. Back Story. (Way Back!) Parmenides and Heraclitus were finalists in the Pre-Socratic American Idol, (Greek version) that ended in a draw, and possibly the first time the sentence "agree to disagree," was ever used. Heraclitus sang that a man can never dip his toe into the same river, twice. His Rosebud was a flower that bloomed in a garden of change, where that garden was the only constant, as time changes that toe dipped into the river (and all accessory/accoutrement attached to said toe) especially after stepping on a wet "Lebowski" carpet, while being baptized in the river of the Coen Brothers. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? I'm mixing movie metaphor again, please forgive me. Parmenides sang the opposite tune: "All reality is one, change is impossible. Permanence is the only constant." He added a snarky Billie Eilish: "Duh!" to the chorus. The future Greeks would call this draw an "Aporia." Something humans cannot know. Like bats in Plato's cave contemplating the astrophysics behind GZK limits. (For 3 people in the world that last line will be incredibly witty and multi-versed in funny.) As you can see Parmenides thought little of humans and their free will. I thought the same "little," until I visited the Suwannee River Rendezvous and felt the paradox of a "permanent transience." Within that paradox a clear winner emerges from the first Greek Idol. A paradox that must first be defined. The paradox is feeling tethered to a sense of home in a world where open-road adventure and exploration is just as important. I've noticed those intrepid adventurers that take the time to RV throughout our great country are usually the same type of adventurous folk that look within and find their peace of mind out side of the ego. And there it was. The Suwannee River Rendezvous was the Mecca of ego free. That kind of an environment changes you. The Transcendalists fishing on Walden Pond believed we are here to enjoy an original relationship with the universe. I can't think of a better environment to enjoy that relationship, than this ego free zone. You'll know when you feel the same paradox. It's the day you have to leave. Your next river and toe will find a changed you. Especially for those philosophers who are lost in the mind of paradox, to find a cognitive space needed for a holy communion with nature, to recognize it as the answer to it all. Including paradox. We learn the language of the Suwannee River and recognize it as the same language of the divine. The Rendezvous allows us to find God behind the stillness, not in the mind, but through the same energies that scattered the stars. The same energies that move this river. Tesla fed pigeons. The Suwannee River Rendezvous has Pigeon Races. For those looking to be baptized in a new faith, one can break bad without wardrobe changes to orange, by sitting in Convict Springs. A fish looking for a tree to climb. Thinking brilliant, like Einstein. You'd have to experience it for yourself for the feel. Use your own words. Don't use mine. But there is a force there, that smacks of the infinite, that my little bat brain is trying to define in the finite. Silly little man covered in guano. Maybe you can do a better job. If so, start a religion. The tax free benefits are quite remarkable in your current economy. The enlightenment is priceless. Mine was worthless. But isn't that another form of priceless. Next time I'll be more specific. It has been rumored that a reporter asked Einstein what it was like to be the smartest man in the world. He said ask Nikola Tesla. Tesla loved our pigeons. They were his Rosebuds. He declared the winner of the first Greek Idol there. No one cared. Those that cared mistook him for the "car guy?" Once things cleared up, no one cared again. Would you like to meet me there? See the winner for yourself. Gather ye rosebuds while you may, ol' time is still flying. The flower that blooms today, tomorrow will be dying.

Naomi was our host and she saw to our needs. The room was quite nice. Had a small kitchen with a stove, oven sink, refrigerator, and a king size bed.
