More observations from my two week tour

Shelby Co. Courthouse Sidney OH City Hall Disneyland Anaheim CA

From the looks of the two pictures above I believe that Walt Disney may have visited Sidney before he located to Burbank CA and started building the Disneyland. The City Hall in Disneyland has a strong similarity to the Courthouse in Sidney OH.


Also if you ever wondered how Disneyland keeps Space Mountain so white? Here is your answer.....

Am I in Bavaria!?!



I am in Bavaria .... no But I was in Fantasyland on Thursday when the average temperature in CA was only 40 degrees.....bbbrrrr. I was walking from the King Arthur Carousel and I happen to look to my left and It catch my eye. With the Matterhorn in the background of Peter Pan's flight and Mr. Todd's Wild Ride it looked like I was in Bavaria and not CA. So since I have not traveled to Europe yet, I have possible flown enough miles to go to Europe but I have not taken a trip there.


Also I rode the New submarine ride with Nemo, it was pretty cool . Very updated from the 20,000 leagues under the sea attraction.


Of course since I was in Disneyland I had to stop by the Tiki Tiki Room and have a Dole Whip, unfortunately after I took my first bite , I remembered that a Dole whip was more of a ice cream that a fruit smoothie.... And I gave up sweets for LENT. So back on track ...after I finish the Dole Whip.
You are thinking , "why didn't you just throw it away?" Because you can only get a Dole Whip in the park and an experience in Disneyland is not complete with a Dole Whip and Fresh Popcorn on Main Street.

A Busy Saturday....


So I got into the park about 9:30am and it was busy. I had spent the entire week training the Super Users on the Nextel devices and I was ready to enjoy the park. I am working every day from Sunday to Sunday and so I knew this would be my only opportunity to get in the park.
This train is located at the Pirate's Layr Island( formerly Tom Sawyer's Island)
I when in the DCA(Disneyland California Adventure) as well... This pictures were taken with my Blackberry Pearl.
I took a picture of this benches. This is an example of why I am so interested in Walt Disney.


The attention to detail is incredible! The Imagineers could have made ordinary benches, but instead they created benches with Mickey Ears. So I guess these could be considered.... Hidden Mickeys.


I also took a 30 minutes drive to visit the Mission San Juan Capistrano ..... "Where the Swallows come back to Capaistrano" of course I wasn't visiting, when they come back..March 19th.... So no swallows but a very interesting place .....

Check out the link for the pictures for MSJ.

I Guess I Have Lived in the DESERT Too Long!



So I was going into Target or Targe' and something caught my eye as I walked through the front doors. A bag for your wet umbrella! Since I have lived in Las Vegas since 1995, I don't think about carry an umbrella or a bag to collect the rain from messing up the floor.


Just an interesting observation during my travels.

Cleveland at 37,000 feet



So this is what Cleveland Ohio at 37,000 feet, it was very peaceful but the temperature was not great I am sure. Plus it is real hard to breath at that altitude, hence that is why planes are pressurized.

BUT HERE IS WHAT CLEVELAND LOOK LIKE AT GROUND LEVEL



Stay tuned since I am back on the road till February 25th...... So look for more updates.
