Quebec also has a Caldron falls. Chaudière Falls, in English "Cauldron Falls", a set of cascades and waterfall in the centre of the Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area in Canada
You have quite a memory of these teams from various sports after 30 years! I remember a business trip to San Antonio. I walked into the Hilton to check in. The lobby was full of people taller than 6'6"...even the women were tall. I thought this is not the height distribution of the normal population...what is happening! It turns out that the NCAA Final Four was playing in San Antonio.
Imagining America Yes ... a good memory supplemented by a bit of research on the web and newspaper cuttings in the programmes. Thanks once again for reading.
Great Post! I really enjoyed reading this post about your attendance an astonishing number and variety of US sports venues! You've certainly seen some of the real greats. My other half and I generally don't like pro-sports, except that I really like major league baseball. (We like college sports better.) We have seen baseball in a half dozen cities, but missed games in Miami, Dallas, Seattle, and Boston due to circumstances beyond our control, LOL). We've seen some Hall of Fame pitchers and saw David Wells pitch a perfect game at the old NY Yankee stadium once. My favorite sighting was seeing Franco Harris of Pittsburgh Steelers fame give a speech at his alma mater, Penn State. My husband actually saw Michael Jordan at a restaurant in Chicago who when leaving would not even sign something for our young son who was sick at the time, so of course we don't like him!!
Imagining America Thanks for reading. Shame Michael Jordan didn't appreciate his public, by signing for your son. As you will see in one of the blog photos, Magic Johnson was very patient signing merchandise in LA.
Wow! I know that you love to combine sports and travel... but I never knew that this included American football! You did some serious travel around the States from 1989 to 1999. Time for another visit...
American Football Blog Thanks for reading...... yes American Football was always on the "to do" list. Another visit to the US is probably overdue .....if we are ever allowed to go anywhere again. The sport didn't stop at the gridiron.... the next blog in production will reveal all.
The original purpose of the blog was the 20th wedding anniversary trip in 2006 / 2007 - Ashes cricket in Oz, setting off early in April and going the long way round!
The trip came to an end in February 2007 and for a while retrospective blogging was the only option (for reasons that you can find in the Road to Freedom).
There are still two to travel and the passport is now back in use in 2009. We get distracted in more than the odd football ground along the way, but it is all part of the journey.... full info
