San Francisco, California, United States

Hi everone,

I have spent the last couple of days in San Francisco. It is fun - there is lots of things to do and see here.

First I explored the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco where they have lots of historic, refurbished ships. You can go aboard three of them and so I did.

The boat you see is in the first picture is the Balclutha. This majestic boat is one of the few remaining square-riggers and it took it's maiden voyage from Cardiff, Wales in 1887. That's a long time ago! It was a cargo ship and it carried coal, lumber, wheat and canned salmon. It even appeared in the film 'Mutiny on the Bounty'.

I also toured the steam ferryboat Eureka built in 1890 and the 1907 ocean going tugboat Hercules.

I also got a chance to see the sea lions on Pier 39, the Golden Gate bridge (hidden a little bit by the mist) and Alcatraz.

Spencer, Indiana, United States

Hi everyone,

Normally I post from exotic locations around the world but today I'm in the U.S.A. I got to play with some old cars in Spencer, Indiana. Spencer is about 45 minutes south-west of Indianapolis. Take a look at those cars!

The first car is a 1931 Ford Model A Four Door.
The next two shots are of a 1930 Ford Model A Rumble Seat Roadster
The last two are of a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe Sedan

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Mike Hudspeth sent us this photo from Dubai in the Arab Emirates. Given that the average temperature in Dubai in September is 100 degrees, it is a little odd that he is skiing, but he is at an indoor ski slope.

Nice way to keep cool Mike!

Hi all,

Here are some pictures of my trip to Singapore. It is very close to the equator so it was warm!

North Rhine, Westphalia, Germany

Here I am visiting the North Rhine, Westphalia with Mrs. Rettig, Elena and Julia.

Today I tried a typical dish, served mainly in North Rhine (a sweet and sour roast made from horse meat), followed by ice cream later on. Tasty! (Not to mention all the different kinds of bread.)

I was fascinated by the local version of May poles, which you can see in one of the the pictures attached.

I even met a German mail carrier. I think I might be in love!

By the playground I saw this public 'book exchange' cabinet where anyone can take or leave used books. A very simple idea, maybe even something we could try at Redmond Elementary.

See also the fine portrait Elena drew of me while waiting at the airport. I am a handsome fellow!
