Albany Travel Blogs

Monday May 4   I went up early because this day was the longest drive of all. But first I had to search for coffee, but I ran out of Canadian dollars. So no coffee. Back to the hotel room and make my own coffee. Half an hour later we went to Perkins next door. They offer a good breakfast. So…

Parts of Washington Park were originally the State Street Cemetary.  By the 1850's public opinion was shifting to support the expanding the much smaller parade ground into the urban planned park we have today, so the cemetary and other lots were purchased and…

During and after the two months I worked in a Summer Camp Upstate NY, I spend some days off outside the Camp with my friends and I had a great time!

I managed to get to San Luis Potosí again for work, and to visit friends I made last time I went. Managed to get some work done and meet a Nobel Prize winner Harold Kroto. Celebrated my birthday down there too.

Well the crooked toe needed to go to Albany for business.  I will be here for the next few days working for GE.  There will be little time for play as the site assessment will take the entire day including the evenings. Lots of walking.  We did go to a good Italian food resturant, bu…

It started innocently enough; I visited Juneau, Alaska in June 1993 and explored the State Capitol building. A few months later, It was Montgomery, Alabama's. In the course of time, it became a hobby. Near the end it became a bit of an obsession. Then, in August of 2006, I visited my 50th US State Capitol building in Pierre, SD. (Yeh!) Yes, I know, I'm a geography nerd.... All entries are maintained in on the 'first visit' date.

It was a nice day in Atlanta, so I had hope for good luck getting to Vermont.  I kept calling the Delta number to check on my baggage, and there never was really an update that helped me know where my bag was.  Laura got me to the airport around 4 and I got to my gate and actually got a s…

Albany! Spreek uit Ol-be-nie. Had u er wel eens van gehoord? Albany, een dikke 200 kilometer ten noorden van New York City gelegen, is de hoofdstad van New York State. En net zoals dat bij de meeste states het geval is, is niet voor de meest voor de hand liggende stad (New York City of Bu…

Certainly not as extensive as I would have had it but the best I could do and still have a job when I got home. Four weeks in South-East Asia was once again with Eastern Michigan University, Cambodia was independant with most of the EMU group, then Colin and I split off and joined JenM in the UK.
