So after delays from Rochester to DC (huge storm in IAD airport)... long ride into Heathrow (Boeing 777 (freakin’ huge)) with a screaming kid behind me... 2 hour bus ride into Bristol, UK... I’m finally here (no sleep since Saturday).

I’m a little delirious, but took a quick walk around to see what’s what... and didn’t I see an Orange and a Kona! Lots of boarders and BMX'ers around the town too. Everyone here looks like a 'beatnik from the village'.

I’m here for a couple days, then off to Edinburgh Scotland. Ill post pics as I go... Should have some good ones... the people and the scenery are interesting to say the least

Here are a couple pics of my 'flat'.

... cool integrated appliances into the cabinetry

view from the flat... pretty swank I must say... I guess this apartment is owned by the customer Im visiting (Lloyds TSB)

Sup mang! I think you're going to need to post quite a few pics of these ladies sporting this "britney spears look" so that we may live vicariously through you.

super nice today... 60 and bright sun... but supposed to be low 50's and rain for the rest of the week...:angry:

 

[Crashby]

so... back from my photo shoot... realize two things....

1. By in large... people in the US have little sense of style (now please dont get your knickers in a bunch... I know each of you has a cute little outfit or two...

2. I need a better camera (using a HP PhotoSmart 315 (blows))

I took a bunch of pics... Ill post a few now... than I must sleep before I dine...

...did I mention today was a bank holiday in the UK (I swear these people only work about 100 days a year

BMX'er riding in front of the (yes you read it right) "Red Mullet"

 

[steve45]

hehehe, enjoy yourself while your over here. if you have the time you should get yourself down to a good classy bar, and enjoy some of the nightlife, but from the sound of it your on a business trip so that might not be possible.

even though i live here in the uk i am actually finding this rather interesting, its always cool to here a fresh veiwpoint, anyway enjoy the rest of your visit.

 

[Crashby]

awwww... like a postcard... (check out the spire in the background...)

 

[Crashby]

boat and my leg...

 

[Crashby]

Ok... last one before nap-time... I saw these huge painted chain links beside the river... I saw some red graffiti underneath... I lifted up the chain and discovered this statement

[steve45]

hmmm, i dunno if i'll be able to get through to edinburgh, transport and money is hard for me to come by just now, but you should definitly hook up with the edinburgh locals, i know 360 on this forum stays there, i'll get back to you on this thread in the next day or 2.
