Due to our enforced break courtesy of BMW, our host Pete has been showing us around, really nice place around here, very clean and orderly after Latin America, a bit too clean and orderly though, still taking a bit of getting used to. This weekend is Memorial day weekend so everybody was off, a nice "Wind & Art" gala in the local park kept us amused on Sunday, just like a village fete except bigger. And yesterday a drive around Livermore & Dublin and of course a visit to a shopping mall! The pics as always tell a better story.

| Police bikes at the fair, surprisingly the local cops changed from Harley after 10 years recently, no complaints from the guys we spoke to! |
 |
| Every fair needs a stationary engine, just like hame! |
 |
| And a tractor |
 |
| Jazz band kept the mood mellow |
 |
| Everything is big here, these pick ups are amazing but I wouldn't like to pay the bill to fill the tank back home ($4 a US gallon here which is actually about 70 p a litre) |
 |
| Liked this one |
 |
| Cool 1952 Chevy police car |
 |
| At first I thought the guy was of Irish descent (one was) but the clover is to show how many accidents they walk away from.... |
 |
| Nice guy answered all our daft questions |
 |
| In Bridges restaurant Saturday night, made famous for being used in a scene from Mrs Doubtfire (the food wasn't bad either) |
 |
| Cheesecake factory for lunch.... well we are on a break.... |
 |
| Nice olde worlde main street in Livermore |
 |
| Luckily just caught this as we left the supermarket, sounded great! |
Great photo's again, love the cop wi the wellies on and of course the flying fortress,think I need a bigger helmet for all my cloverleafs :-o Looks like you both are havin a great time, say hello to big Pete from me if you are still there. Sorry to hear the bike is sick again , thought these things were up to the job, Ewan & Charlie thought so, mind you , you dont have a fleet of trucks following you with spares! All the best from cold/wet Glesga, Malky.
