Looks like you had a good time in Athens, Dale. Thanks for sharing!

Got to visit Columbus, GA on Friday for work. It's a beautiful old town. I'm a sucker for old brick, train tracks, mills, town markets, etc. I didn't have a ton of time to visit the town, but I did take this shot on the Chattahoochee River, just outside my customer's office. Beautiful...

However, the highlight of my trip was visiting Golden Memorial Field (1926), a former minor league baseball stadium. Circa 1906, Columbus has been host to TONS of Hall of Famers, including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, and Cal Ripken, Jr. That's only naming a few!

Baseball heaven right here, folks...

This site was also host to the 1996 Olympic Games FIRST inaugural Softball event, where the US won Gold!! That's cool, but I was far more interested in the HOF'ers.

Here are a few of my best impressions of the legendary HOF'er, Connie Mack.

Checking out some top prospects during batting practice...

Sorry for the butt-shot. I actually don't have much of a butt, but I was rather impressed with this picture. Therefore, I'm flaunting it!! LOL

The last minor league team to play in Columbus were the Catfish, Single-A, South Atlantic League, 2006-2008. They were the SAL Champions in 2007 and the farm team for the Tampa Bay Rays!!

They had a GREAT logo!!!

You would love Lowell, Mass AnA. One of the coolest mill towns with a great renovation program. We thought of living in a loft in one of the old mills when we moved back to New England some years ago.

The local minor league team, the Lowell Spinners, has a modern ballpark and is a Red Sox affiliate.

Unfortunately the local team here, the Fort Worth Cats, went out of business a year or so ago.

We could walk to the nice stadium in about 10 minutes. Looking the worse for wear already and probably going to be demolished soon.

That's awesome, David!! I've never been to New England, but I would LOVE to go. Vintage America.

It's a real jungle out in the paw paw patch this time of year. Makes for some "Where's Waldo?" situations after shaking the tree and hearing them hit the ground.

We went to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park today. They are flying 2,977 US flags to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11. My wife and I came here in 2011 for the 10th anniversary. It was incredibly moving; an incredible experience. They names all of the names during a ceremony this morning. Touching, to say the least...

Great tradition at a sacred place.

Some pics from the hike today. I wore my Cattleman and my friend wore an Akubra Plainsman (he is not pictured since I did not ask his permission to post pics).

It was extremely humid, so it was not the best day for a hike. Both of our families came with us, but when the kids started getting overheated we had to turn back. We had fun though!

These are press photos but a good time was had by all! There were plenty of OR's being worn in the outdoor venue.

Holidays in late July and early August in northern Spain.
The car ride was long (1800 km.) because we decided to go to the Northwest can then return to the East visiting the coast towards the French border. Three regions traveled far and wide: Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country.
The journey was made in two stages with pleasant stops in France and just past the Spanish border in the Basque Country. Then it was a succession of visits to particularly wild beaches and almost always deserted, considering that some of their impervious nature are inaccessible. While others can be crossed on foot at low tide. Great food consists above all in sea food and the like. In the Basque Country the kitchen is beautiful and is one of the gastronomic capitals, deservedly, in Spain. The return was done with a stop only in the exact middle of the path in a tiny and lovely village north of Nimes. I had some problems with my phone and many photographs are, alas, useless.
Martignargues - Nimes - Languedoc Rousillon - France

La Maison du passage, a charming tiny hotel

La Playa del silencio - Cudillero - Asturias - Spain

A little path to arrive on another hidden beach near la Playa del Silencio

From the beach

Playa de las Catedrales - Lugo - Galicia

With the low tide is possible to walk around the cathedrals of stone

Cathedrals Beach is located on the coast of the province of Lugo (Galicia)

It is so called by the set of cliffs, some over 32 meters high, sculpted by wind and sea are spectacular arches and vaults leaving a wonderful landscape

The sea remains in some hidden place like a small lake

Enjoy this first part, more to come.
