Residence Inn Arlington Courthouse

... the river, all the way until we were standing behind the fine, white stone of the Lincoln memorial. We crossed the bridge there to walk up through the gates of Arlington National Cemetery. Generally speaking, tourists don't spend much time wandering around cemeteries, but Arlington is different. Over 320,000 servicemen and their family members are buried there - men and women who were fought in each of the ...

... I took British Airways, and naturally was treated very well. Waiting on my seat for me was a blanket, a pillow, and a little package with earplugs, an eye mask, and the cutest little toothbrush/toothpaste thingy ever! I had a window seat, where I sat and watched a movie or two, watched our location and info on the virtual transatlantic map, and had a small nap. I hopped off the plane and headed to customs ...

... straight past the 2nd floor convention space onto the first floor lobby. I felt like an employee as I helped them spread out towels onto the various wetspots as quickly as possible. Needless to say, training stopped for the rest of the day!

... mandolin case so i brought it out to show him, his name is jerry and he is a father and a folk singer by profession, thoguh he admitted that he had a day job at an office somewhere.... he examined my mandolin and after several low whitles from him, i grabbed a pick from my wallet and played a few songs. the singer, the argentinian and the brit were very pleased and clapped as i finished each tune calling out for more. ater an hour of playing we had all exchanged names and ...

Just finished our last day of work. We're nearly packed and trying to tie up some loose ends and such. We just heard from Joe via e-mail. He was elusive as to what he's done in Sicily so far--I do know he watched 'Ghost Rider' on the plane ride. Not recommended. This (unnecessary) entry was inspired though by today's AP report from Bucharest: "EUROPE HIT BY KILLER HEATWAVE AND FLOODS" http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070626/ts _afp/europeweather Here are ...

... it or not occasionally when driving we still saw patches of snow - in end of June! Interestingly we didn't get as much hilly grade as we have passing through the canyons. But, since we took the Explorer instead of the RV maybe I didn't notice. I got really upset when we got stuck behind a car who did the speed limit (especially when I'm doing 20 in a 55 mph zone with the RV) - that was until on the way down we saw a 3 car crash with a motorcycler ...

... it was Sunday evening, there was not a car in sight and hardly any cars roaming around. I can't really describe how cool it was, you'll just have to see the pictures........... It's colder than a witch's tit here in Arlington (not that i've ever felt a witch's tit before). Tomm I got a long ass day dealing with Visa ****, however I am going to try to hit the major touristy spots in D.C. before I leave.

... Fran, but got woken up by my mobile phone carrier Optus at 4.07am to ask me how my phone plan was - ggrrrr!! Couldn't get back to sleep after that so got up and was on the subway by 5.20am - you wouldn't believe how many people were on the train - but as they say New York is a city that never sleeps and I can now say that that's true! One consolation of getting to the airport earlier was that I got an earlier flight to ...

... pieces. In 2004 we didn't see her as she wasn't well so we hope this works out. At the top of our Delhi "To Do" list is a visit with the owner of Amrinch Exports, who keeps Raga Rags well supplied throughout the year. Finally, if we want to feel like we've fallen into the rabbit hole, we'll take a trip to Old Delhi, where the crush of humanity and bicycle rickshaws is an intensly Indian experience. The Jaipur Express will take us to ...

... and her husband, John Watson, enjoy genealogical research. They discovered evidence that Daddy may have killed the man who raped his sister, then fled to Oklahoma (not yet a state)to avoid trial. For a few years he worked as a cowhand and lawman in the Oklahoma Territory. There is also some evidence indicating he married and probably fathered children in an earlier marriage before marrying my mother. According to Daddy's tales he spent the years before marrying my mother roaming ...
