Thanks Tracy and Rivernan !!

I can name quite a few places and some I didn't like . Last time I counted , I have been to 42 countries some more than once . There's good and bad everywhere , some places are good and some are bad . Two that stand out right now are Holland , Singapore , and I'll add this one , Nova Scotia . I can't leave out Scotland ( my birthplace ) . There's so many , i can go on and on .

I like the scarf too .
Thanks again !!


Robert, we just went to Nova Scotia this past spring and loved it. Have not been to Scotland, but that's where my ancestors are from. Always wanted to go. Its on my bucket list.
Like the night shots in Bahrain. Would love to see some pics from Holland. thanks, Richard

Robert the night shots are really sweet to look at, in fact im going out on a limb here and will say you might be best at your night images..or maybe I should say I like them best. I recall that empire state lit up.
Been to Holland and Nova Scotia...not singapore or any where in Great Britain. GB is on the list...Singapore huh???? Ill give that one some thought. Thanks.

BoarHog ,

Nova Scotia is said to be from New Scotland . It is cold there and green and rainy at times . They are both similar in a lot of ways . Both are nice places . I hope you go to both one day .

Here is another picture from Scotland . I posted a similar picture someplace on this site befrore .

Split Crow Pub....Sounds like a good place....I don't remember seeing that in Halifax, but I was only there for a couple days. I am going back there next year. I really liked it.
Peggys Cove is southwest of Halifax, on the mouth of St Margarets Bay. What tine of day is it in Bahrain now? It is 11:09 pm on Thursday night here in Virginia.

7:15 am here . Waiting on a plane going to Muscat then to Diego Garcia . Been here since 2 am waiting in a Navy Base near downtown Bahrain . I could have got some sleep last night but I remember the old saying when I was in the Navy , Hurry up and wait . Amazing, its still going on . It's a 747 commercial plane but taking military people to both of these places .
Friday morning I should have said .

Are you a graduate of the Merchant Marine Academy? My Dad was and I grew up with tales of the merchant Marine. Plus you always meet merchant sailors wherever you go!
Happy sailing and stay safe.

I take it that they still don't like allowing photo's of people to be taken. I spent some time there in late 70's and early 80's while in the navy. Nice photo's.
