    Why) Although I didn't plan to, I ended up taking and finding a few interesting pictures at our hotel.  As you might expect, they were probably not pictures that you would have thought to take.



























When you walk in the back door you will immediately notice the two large throne chairs.  I convinced Pam to pose regally in one of them.








When you enter the bathroom, you may notice this Dyson Airblade hand dryer.  This dryer already made the Bucky's list once so you can ...







... imagine my delight at the prospect of using it more than daily for an entire week.  (Don't even wonder how I managed to take this picture.)







They gave this picture away at the end of the week but there is also one long and one short story behind it that I won't be getting into here.







I found this strange piece of crushed wire in the hotel parking lot and I liked it enough to keep it for a while.
