Historical places

I've always wanted to visit Dallas. Why? Well, I was a fan of the TV series (oh the shame of admitting it- those visits to US Soap fan anonymous have obviously paid off) but that wasn't the reason really. It was more to do with seeing the scene of the JFK assassination, scenes of great historical events have always been fascinating to me. I've been to a few places here in Scotland, and the rest of the UK for that matter, but history seems to occur in other countries too..

This photo, taken last August shows me - no, not having a pee, nor anything else (my eyes were closed due to the sun!) - in the exact location of the Berlin Führerbunker. This was exactly the place where Adolf and Eva were set alight.

Just back from a week on the Algarve. I also celebrated my umpteenth 21st birthday while there. Weather was very warm most of the time, the local beer was very good and the food was great.

Now I'm back in dreichland and not feeling too cheerful about it. Arrived back yesterday after our aircraft made an unscheduled stop in Brest to let a very ill traveler off the plane (luckily it wasn't the pilot). I mean, if someone had told me I'd be seeing plenty of "brest" on my holidays I'd be over the moon. Still, as this photo proves, I saw plenty of something else!! :-)
