Seen While Traveling

Public transit in Cleveland with people
going to the Browns' draft party


Nothing special, just a nice day



I found it fascinating to watch another
plane approach the airport as we did.



A volunteer and her dog wearing a vest saying, "Pet me."



I wonder if airport duty is a reward or punishment.

Travel Photos

Not the fancy kind of travel photos, just regular getting-from-one-place-to-another photos

It was a windy start to the trip.

I saved the 36th bottle



I mostly walked, but cycled once,
just to say I had done it

Art in the airport





It was nice to change planes in Phoenix and have new places to explore.

Travel

Views out the window

Canada

Chicago

Grand Canyon?

 

Celebrations



One of many, but ran out of time to find more

A few more

As close as I got to the gambling machines

I didn't buy either

Best part about changing in Chicago

April Leftovers

I never mind a layover in Denver.

I always visit the brick roads (two) when I am home.

The building my father points out every time we drive by it.




Kids at school were pulling weeds and using them to build homes for bugs.

November Leftovers

At the start of a group bike ride

Taken from their social media account -
it made me smile to see that royalty take selfies like the rest of us 

sunbathing at the botanic garden

A friend took an opposite sabbatical leave and instead of staying one place they moved every week, more or less. She gave a talk and part of the show-and-tell included the luggage she used for the year. I wonder if I could have done the same.

Art in the Airport

Artists Won Kyoung Lee and Matthew Alden Price wanted to gather objects that showed the diversity of Philadelphia. These objects, donated by the people who live there, are now on display at the airport and if you go to their website you can learn the story behind each one. 

My Philadelphia Story




I wonder what I would submit for each city I have lived in. Maybe that is a topic for a future blog post.

Transportation

It is not always true that I enjoy the journey as much as the destination, but during my last trip there were some parts I enjoyed.

We had a long layover in Denver but D. knew
about a patio with plenty of places to sit

and a good view.

We brought only one bike on the trip (which D. and A. were able to repair).
A. had his own bike and was able to borrow one for me to use.
The weather was ideal, the trails were fantastic, and our tour guide was the best!


We rented a car but on my last day I got to take a train to the airport.

Bye, Philadelphia.


I took the Rapid from the airport for the last part of my trip.
Two different transit systems in one day!



It was nice enough weather to use my Ohio bicycle.

No picture of a car, but here's a view of the
art museum on the drive to the airport.


Stadium Mustard in airport!

Planes, trains, automobiles, and bicycles - another great trip!

Combination Trip

A. and his friend spent the night in the Denver airport on the way to California for spring break. Heading back they had a non-stop flight, but out of LAX at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning. That was better for them but maybe not so great for us. We tried to make the best of it by planning a beach visit after drop off.

The beach is pretty empty at 7 a.m.!

We found a breakfast place that had tables in the sunshine 

and then walked over and watched the UCLA crew team.

It was a little chilly for swimming
but it was good to touch the ocean.


We'll see whether we try this again.
