I have been intending to do a series of posts about my recent trip to Friedrichshafen but Christmas-time family events and other good things have gotten in the way. Since I am about to leave the country again (going to Cardington, England for a project about the British airship R.101) I thought I would post some photos as a short preview.

Bye for now
Greetings, Dan. I’m seriously jonesing for some LZ130 updates if you have some. In the meantime, my favorite Pompeii website’s getting some serious traffice 🙂
Did you go to Meesburg while you where there? For some dumd reason I didn’t and I’m sorry I didn’t Rick
Lovely photos, and I look forward to your upcoming additions. Also, I had no idea one could still go by sea to the UK. I’d thought trans-Atlantic ship services had gone the way of international Zeppelin services. Interesting.
Last photo’s real caption: “winter in Europe, man… hurry up with that camera dammit!”
