Bob and Bike
Bob Lord tuning up one of the old bikes found on ship in preparation for the trip to Paris. These were a couple of junked old 3-speeds we found in one of the holds.
Big Ben From Across the Thames
Big Ben Close and Personal
Hovercraft
The hovercraft arriving in Dover to pick us up. Air pressure under the hull allows it to motivate on land.
Ready to Board
Queuing at the ramp with all the cars. We rode right up with them and stowed our mounts for the trip across the English Channel.

Dennis "Flash" Johnsey
A great pal with an extremely highly developed sense of the absurd. Fortunately, that hasn’t changed over the almost-40 years since this picture.
Flash and Friends
Dennis “Flash” Johnsey and tourists we met at the Tuileries. The improbably named Mary Titwell center frame and her friend Jane. We hung around these girls for a couple days in the city. And before you ask--- No. No luck.

The Arc at Night
Flash and Gargoyle at Notre Dame
Leonardo's Mona Lisa
You used to be able to take flash pictures inside major museums all over Europe, and you could walk right up to priceless paintings to check them out. Things have definitely changed.
The Before
That’s “Golden Budgie” wine, in case you were interested.)
