Normal start today - breakfast was at Stauf's Coffee Roasters, where we both had a bagel and cream cheese (poppy and cinnamon & raisin, for the record) c/w a mug of coffee and a mug of hot chocolate. Then vanished off to Mike's place of work (OSU) to see if we could find a CF reader - no luck so we might have to buy one. BTW, I did all the driving up to this point.
We then took a road-trip down to near Cincinatti, OH. In fact it was to Newport, KY. Got there and had lunch at an Irish pub on the Ohio River. Then we vanished off to the Newport Aquarium, not too far from the pub. Now, everyone in Scotland might think that Deep Sea World in North Queensferry is the bee's knees. Well, let me tell you that Newport Aquarium not only has the bee's kness but also it's legs, thorax and other attached appendages!! Bl**dy brilliant is all I can say. Again, out came the Nikon D70 for some macro and close-up pics. Had to up the ISO to 1600 to get the pics, so a little bit grainy but well worth it - if we get a hold of that CF adaptor you may get a look-see.
Given that most of the day was spent driving not a lot more happened. We got back to the apartment and had dinner - pasta with meat sauce. We also discussed the ins and outs of buying gas in the USA and also the plans for tomorrow, which should be interesting. Suffice it to say that I shall be flying solo on the highways tomorrow - watch the news!!
Ciao folks - sleep is catching up with me.
