Summing it all up.
 

June, Lionel and Martin went for an early morning swim and then Martin went to the dentist to have his cap glued back on.
 

To the left, Lionel's house at 0630 in the morning. The sun is just rising to another crisp, chilly and sunny day.

To the right, Lionel's driveway. Can be difficult to negotiate during the winter with a lot of snow and ice.

Lionel's living room without a flash.

Then it was off to Oak Marr Recreational Center. Not far from Lionel.

Lionel and June outside their VW Sierra.

Martin went to see the dentist to get his cap glued back on. Here they are copying the driver license and the credit card.

Lionel picking red leaves for some obscure reasons? He is taking pictures of them. Lionel's photos.

The GPS conked in on the way to Washington DC. Here Martin try to get it changed. They couldn't.

June giving Lionel last time instructions before we went for a drive.

First stop was The National Rifle Association (NRA), just down the road. Martin is peeping over the top.

Another view of the NRA sign outside the impressive building in which it's housed.

The building itself.

Another sign of the building showing where to go etc.

 

The National Firearms Museum(NFM) housed at the premises of NRA.

Driving around the area, this is a flood sign showing you how deep the water can be during violent downpours.

The innocent creek when it's dried kup.

Nandina bush makes white flowers in the spring, red berries in the fall and evergreen year round.

One of the Big Mac houses that is foreclosed these days.

The front pathetic view of the foreclosed house.

They don't use vicious dogs in the USA, but cats. Beware of the Fighting cats, the sign reads in German.

At a park area, these Canadian geese are wandering around. A healthy meal in one like this.

In the USA they even have cricket playing fields due to the large portion of Indians living in these areas.

The barbeque area closed for the winter season.

The rules of the park clearly displayed here.

Lionel at his favorite wine shop, Trader Joes. Seen here posing in front of the wine selection from all over the world.

Martin found his favorite, Mississippi Mud. To be tested later.

Wegmans grocery shop, the largest in the neighborhood. No photographs to be allowed inside. Stupid.

Lionel loves to cook. Here the ingredients for the onion soup is coming up.

At Webmans, Martin was talked into trying another variety of Budweiser, The Select. Seen here to the left and the Bud Light or Blue to the right, Martin's favorite.

There is no much visual difference between the two beers. The Select to the left.

June preparing dinner and Lionel hard at work sorting out his fancy camera.  

The next day, Wednesday Nov 20th, it was time for
