I was on "older daughter duty" today, and guess where we ended up going.... I left my camera behind and spent two hours chasing a 3 1/2 year old instead. If you haven't been there before, it really deserves several hours all by itself. That building has an amazing amount of western history in it, including several of the original locomotives that were transported via ship from Philadelphia to San Francisco in the 1860's. Stephen Ambrose's book "Nothing Like It In The World" is a great book to read prior to visiting--it describes the construction of the transcontinental railroad (Sacramentens played a key role in the conception and construction from the western side). http://books.google.com/books?id=TZp_GT7PscIC --Mark -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
