Holiday

It has been a while since I last posted so I thought I would update you all on the great holiday I had at the end of last month.
 
I went to Ohio to catch up with some old friends and family.  Now I know you may not think that Ohio is a very popular holiday destination within the states but let me give you some interesting facts about the place:
 
  • Ohio is only a little smaller than the UK in land size
  • Ohio has the 4th largest gay population behind San Fransisco, NY and Washington DC
  • Columbus is the capital of Ohio named after the famous explorer of course
  • OSU (Ohio State University) occupies the largest campus site in Columbus
  • Ohio's 'thing' is the Buckeye tree, in particular the "Aesculus glabra Willdenow" a palm like leaf tree
  • Ohio is mainly a 'red' state (Rebuplican) however can often be a deciding state when it comes to the presidential elections
  • Ohio is the 34th biggest state

So enough of the facts and onto my holiday.

 

It was great seeing everyone again and this time around I even hired my own car.  Driving in America is pretty easy as the roads are so nice and big and everywhere is really well signposted. 

I spent my whole week darting around catching up with everyone so enjoy the pics in my photo album.
