Frederick MD Tour
We took a trip home to Frederick, MD for Howard’s R&R November 2017. The weather was perfect, the leaves changing, the holiday lights bursting and Baker Park as serene as always. It was a nice trip and a great time to visit with friends and neighbors and to make new ones.
Dead Reckoning in Frederick Book Signing
At En Masse in Frederick, MD. It’s called Small Business Saturday, which is the day after Black Friday. All of the small businesses in Frederick were holding sales and promotions. Lots of tourists came. It was a great day for a book signing.
Perth, Western Australia
We recently visited Perth, Western Australia. We wanted to get away from the heat in Bangkok and started to look at Australia since it was winter there..we then realized that Perth was not far–less than 7 hours. It was a great 9 days. The people were very nice, the food good, the cool and sometimes rainy weather perfect, and the attractions spectacular. Our hotel was not far from King’s Park which we visited often. It’s larger than Central Park and had lots of trails and cafes. Great scenes of Perth from it too.
Then we went to Rottnest Island, home to the smallest marsupial, the Quokka. We also visited Fremantle a port city with a lot of maritime history. We visited the Shipwreck Museum which was very interesting. A whole lot of information about the recovery of the Batavia which sunk off the coast of WA on June 4, 1629. It was her maiden voyage. Gruesome events followed.
