Research Travel

Pictures, videos, and descriptions are wonderful for seeing and learning about the places that impacted the past, but there really are no adequate substitutes for physically exploring the sites...in person. Visiting and visually beholding great fields of battle, grand vistas, and museum artifacts,  where events and pieces of enormous import creates awe and wonder. The following is a partial list of some of the places I have been able to experience in person. A few are more general cities, regions or even people. Those with pictures/videos hyperlink to the albums. While media may not replicate being there, it might be the next best thing.

Smithsonian






I was at the Smithsonian on the anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. In the evening the video of the rocket launch was shown on the Washington Memorial (I saw this on the news and wished we had been able to stay a few more hours as it was an awesome sight, even on TV)


My favorite (item?/animal?) in a museum and the answer to the riddle on my US II Course

What soars above the clouds

and stashes secrets for

the salvation of lost battalions

in shattered limbs



I don't take selfies. Ever. Unless it is with the Wright Flyer
