Last weekend I went to
Wendover, Nevada for 3 nights. This is a strange little town with a lot of history.
Wendover used to be a World War Two Army base. It house over 40,000 men and is where the
Enola Gay took off from before dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. This location was chosen largely because the army was testing
nuclear bombs in the remote Nevada desert.
Wendover is now a growing tourist town known for casinos, concerts and....that's about it.
Wendover is located in both Nevada and Utah. You follow the rules of the state on either side. For example, in Nevada you can gamble and drink alcohol in public and in Utah you can not gamble and only drink in private clubs. Here I am with each foot in a different state. You can
slightly make out the state names painted on the road.
Wendover is a short distance away from the Bonneville Salt Flats. In 1930's the area became internationally famous when
Malcolm Campbell set numerous speed records, not to mention the naming of the legendary Triumph Bonneville motorcycle.
Another random American roadside tourist attraction is
Wendover Will, the largest neon man in America. Not to be confused with the largest foil ball, largest pitch fork, or largest watermelon...all worthy of a five minute stop for a
photo op.
My mom and I took a boat trip around the coastline of Lagos to explore the caves and the fantastic rock formations. 
Our boat guide told us this rock formation is nicknamed 'The Camel'. 
A rather cloudy day at Trafalgar Square...but you still see Big Ben in the distance. 
The Candian flag caught my eye across from Trafalgar Square. Hello Canadian Embassy :) 
In front of the old city wall of Lagos.
Amazing Lagos beach! 
British 50's pop rocker, Sir Cliff Richard, opened this winery about 10 years ago. I think most of the people on the wine tour came for this novelty rather than the wine.
The best sea bass I ever ate!!!
The town of Porche is known for it's beautiful hand crafted pottery. I got to watch some of the ladies while they painted.
At convocation, the students all signed the honour pledge.
