This side on illustration shows the number of planes in the air over America at any one time - it varies between 5500-6000!!!

This is for Alan and Brad... A rock!!! Ever touched one that is 2250 million years old?? Pfft!
C3PO and R2D2 from the 70's - these both actually had actors in them!! Behind it part of the 1942, 30 ton super computer which is less powerful then a modern day scientific calculator!

The gloves Muhammad Ali wore when he beat the shit out of the Lean Mean Grilling Machine called George Foreman!
The Capitol - US Parliament House
Up close
Remove people, insert me.
Looking backwards (east) from Capitol Hill towards the Washington Memorial. The grass section is called 'The Mall' and has all the museums down the sides. The dome on the right is the top of the Museum of Natural Science
This thing is big!!
It's called the Washington Monument... "Looks more like a tribute to Bill Clinton!"
Made from sandstone... see how big it is?!?!
Looking north... The White House
Looking east from the Clinton Monument across the Forest Gump Pool to the Lincoln Memorial
The Reflecting Pool
The Lincoln Memorial... Nothing like living in the past hey America!
The Lincoln... Big guy!
Big white guy!
Looking west from the feet of Big Linc, across the Gump to the Clint then Parly House in the distance
Like I said... block stone buildings with columns!!
So there you have it, my two days in Washington. Cant see myself going back there this trip... I'd rather spend it in NY, at an Aussie BBQ sponsored by Coopers Beer and at an ice hockey match... That's the plan for my last 3 weekends here!
Be safe
