FG Sydney Continued

Hi Everyone,  Here are some more pictures of my visit in Sydney.  We're
on the harbour today. Would you believe that we met a couple from Seattle
and HE grew up in Shropshire!  Cheers FG

 We were up early to get the train To Circular Quay


First we had cappuccinos across from the Harbour
Bridge....called the Coathanger.


Taking the ferry to Manly.....Opera House, Bridge and
Central Business District

Docking at Manly on the Harbour side




The Corso today....a short walk to the beach


Resting in the sand with seagull prints all around me


Manly Beach looking south....Pacific Ocean


Looking north


Taking time out for a MANGO gelato before we get the return


The Harbour was very busy, lots of sailing, paragliding, 
fishing...and this tall ship.

Emailing: Sleeping FG, Japanese Gardens

FG here,  Been visiting the Shoyoen Japanese Gardens.  A gift to the city
from its Sister City, Minokamo.
  (We checked to be sure it hadn't been
affected by the earthquake and tsunami.....it hasn't).
  Beautiful, relaxing gardens. Couldn't get a good picture with the Sumo wrestlers, but a good day
anyway.

Also, it wouldn't be Saturday with out some steps!


Cheers, FG

Flat George At The Filming Of Ides Of March


This is a sit, snap, grab, run picture.  Taken the night of February 23, at the filming of Ides of March with George Clooney in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.  The picture is terrible because we had big lights to the left and above.  That is Mr. Clooney with his back to the camera.  We know George Clooney loves pigs, he had one, but he could have given another George a smile for the camera.
The security crew had big signs on their cars Ides of March.
Flat George and Sweet William were last seen running like the devil was after them, but in truth it was just the security crew in black

Flat George in Cincinnati, Ohio USA

  
Flat George here in Cincinnati, Ohio with my host Sweet William.
We are on one of the seven hills the city has ~ Mt. Adams ~ and we are
overlooking the Big Mac Bridge which locals call it because William says it
reminds everybody of the Golden Arches to McDonalds.  Kentucky in the back
ground.


We are over looking downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.  Sweet William is telling me that the tallest building in the background was just completed and that the crown on the top reminds him of the crown our Queen wears.
The twin buildings are Procter & Gamble's International Headquarters.


Cincinnati, Ohio is home of the flying pigs, doggie dashes, chicken dances and rein dog parade.  If you can believe that!  Here I am going into one of the finest dining restaurants in the city, Montgomery Inn Boat House.



Here I am, Flat George, being interviewed by Queen Janeen of the Married with Microphone Radio 103.5FM WGRR Show (does not look at all like our Queen).
We are in the Bob Hope Room, see his picture and a USO Flag.
How great is that getting interviewed and having lip smackin ribs to eat.
Sweet William, my host, wants me to say he loves DownUnder Daisy and Jazzi.
He needs a girl friend real BAD.
