Trip around the world

If I were to take a picture now, you would see a German bus and believe me, there are far better views. OK, the bus just moved, now I could take picture of the tax office. Imagine a grey lump of concrete and that\'s about it.
For some reason I am getting the feeling that my view sucks.

This is an interesting thread
This is the view from my work space. All of the Imagery in the Beach Boy\'s song\'s about California is instantly recogniseable in this photo. Multiple times a day, Buxon girls from Baywatch run by my window (in slow motion, of course). I know, I know, you all are jealous. Sorry, only a few get THIS good of a view.
I live about an hour north of San Francisco in Santa Rosa CA. This is on the southern end of the major \'wine country\' of California. A few interesting facts about Santa Rosa. The famed botanist Luther Burbank lived here (my grandmother used to talk to him when she was a child). The same grandmother\'s father was Jack London\'s barber. During the 1906 earthquake we were actually hit harder than San Francisco. It was the fire that really wiped them out. Robert Ripley (Ripley\'s Believe it or not) is buriec here.

OK, I triec it AGAIN and it still didn\'t work. Took the \'tob\' off, still nothing. I uploaded the images to photobucket then immiediately tried to put it up on CMON. Does photobucket have a waiting time till the image\'s go active. I looked in photobucket and the images are there. Frustrating. It\'s not that this old dog can\'t learn new tricks, I just get tired of the never ending learning of new tricks with computers.

Santa Monica
Santa Monica Pier
I used to live in an aprtment RIGHT by the pier, on the sand. Too tiny for family life though, and moved inland 2 miles.
I miss being able to walk to the hot dog on a stick in my pajamas.
For the Europeans, perhaps you remember the german tourists about 4 years ago that were shot and killed when they wouldn\'t give up their wallets? That was right out our back door!

I FINALLY got it right. Check out California and weep.
I really do! I was in a long relationship with a russian woman a few years ago, so I got a personal tour of the city. It was a wonderful trip, although I\'m sure if I went again it just wouldn\'t be the same, in large part to the fact I don\'t know anyone there like she did, and I only know about 50 words of russian so wouldn\'t get around quite so well alone. I do enjoy seeing your photos though, it\'s great to bring back memories of the place!
Hmmm, I think I\'ll keep my sunny beaches for now, maybe once Moscow thaws out a bit we can talk about switching
I did see a lot of the city, although I think what I enjoyed the most was getting to be a part of the culture, meeting the people (mostly in clubs or dinner parties), and enjoying life MUCH different than what I was accustomed to in the US. That is something I think if I went again without a close friend who knew the place, I probably would not see as much of. Unfortunately I am so bad at names to say my favorite sites, perhaps I\'ll scan some photos of the trip and you can give me the names
