To a camera shop with Chris, where after some deliberation I bought a new Pentax Z1 with a 28/85mm
f/3.5-f/4.7 zoom. Later
into Washington DC to take a look
around.
Off with Rose Dagostino today to visit
the Virginia
and West Virginia sights. First
to Harpers Ferry, then on
to Fredericksburg before
returning to Reston, giving me a
good chance to try out my new camera. Rose did all the driving, but I was surprisingly
tired at the end.
Off today to Colorado
Springs to spend the weekend with Rob Kolstad and Jeff Polk. I was still using up my
air miles, so I flew first class, and I was outside the gate and sitting down by the time
Rob arrived to pick me up, somewhat confused.
Rob has put on quite a programme for the weekend, and today we went up to Pikes Peak, the highest place I have eve
been, 4,302 m above sea level. The air was electric.
