the "BATTLE OF ATLANTA"
I must have been around 9 when I visited
the Cyclorama with my "Auntie Mame" Aunt Hannah & Uncle Stud.
It sure was an impressive sight to a young kid.
Another note on History.
One of these Atlanta trips we actually passed
Dr. Martin Luther Kings mule train from Atlanta to Birmingham
during the turbulent Civil Rights era.
I will never forget that sight either.

"Wanna Bet"
Biscayne Fronton, Miami, Florida
I haven't been to Jai Alai in years. It is a fun and exciting game to watch and bet. The Fronton in Miami now has evolved into a casino. I assume it is still hosting Jai Alai and broadcast Horse racing. They must have casino games also. The Fronton in Dania, FL is closer to me since I moved to Ft. Lauderdale.

Passing through the Old City Gates.
St. Augustine is a beautiful city with tons of things to see and do.
I have visited a few times and hope to stop in again whenever I get a chance.
I took the sightseeing train myself. For some reason I seem to think that it is no longer green but maybe red today. Anyway if you get a chance please don't miss out on a visit to St. Augustine Florida.

THE BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD

it was already scanned and waiting in the wings.
I really like this card. You can feel the excitement of the times in the image.

Double Arch,
Arches National Monument,
near Moab, Utah
This entire area of the U.S.A. is magnificent viewing.
It is awesome to stand in front of this Double Arch.
An amazing feeling of how small we really are.
You can walk right into it.

| This is another Arch in the same National Monument. This is Delicate Arch. It is accessible only by a frightening and dangerous hike up the backside of a mountain. Just behind us is the arch and a sheer drop; forever seems like. It may not look like it but it is scary just being there. I wouldn't have missed the experience for anything. Oh I am the cute one in the cap. And the other is my brother. |
