Buenos Aires

Ah, Argentina! What to do, what to do after the product is delivered. Wine ,tango, beef, Evita.
The biggest tourist attraction is probably the Recoleta Cemetery. Why, not because it is huge and beautiful, also called the city of angels or the city of cats, but because Evita is buried there. Bob got there before the Japanese descended upon it. Outside the cemetery is an enormous fig tree, another famous attraction. Surfer Bob is a wine lover so he went to a tasting in Palermo Soho and made many new friends. He was the life of the party! Next stop ... La Boca. Truly a tourist trap but very colorful. Here Surfer Bob could indulge is massive plates of beef and tango. A great time was had by all.

Stanford

Since it is still hot in Texas, Bone Marrow Bob jetted off to Stanford for a delivery. Ah Stanford, that bastion of brainiacs, the nucleus of West coast stem cell research, a cutting edge cancer center, and BMB was in the thick of it. Stanford is a beautiful campus with a most amazing chapel. Leland spared no expense on the construction. BMB marveled at the hallowed halls of higher learning and made a few friends along the way.

R and R in Scandinavia

Surfer Bob likes to escape the summer heat. This August he found himself in St Petersburg and Norway among other places. In Russia he toured many palaces. He really wanted to sit on Catherine the Great's throne. His tour guide, Irena, took a shine to Bob and tried to help with his request but this is a close as he got. In the galleries of the Hermitage, Surfer Bob was overwhelmed by the collection and the size of this Matisse.

The fjords and waterfalls and glaciers were pure eye candy and the cool weather was nice too. He couldn't resist getting his picture made in front of a glacier while friends back home were wilting in 107* heat.

Nashville Cats


So Bone marrow Bob has been on the go in June. Dwayne begged to go to Music City. Its as close as he can get to Graceland for now. Music Row was a hoot! Dwayne recorded a song while Surfer Bob ate BBQ. Then there was a little jam session followed by a lot of bourbon. If you look closely you can see that Dwayne's dye job is not so good.
Any foodies out there in blog land take note of Virago and City House. After all that jammin' the boys were hungry!

Cleveland


Has Bob been demoted? No, no,no. Bone Marrow Bob goes where ever he is called to. The question is...how come such a large airport has such small planes?

London Redeemed


So, Bone Marrow Bob had a return trip to London and his official photographer made sure not to loose the pics. Somehow a couple were still lost, but, never mind. I guess the photographer needs to go back to school. I digress, Surfer Bob's cousin Dwayne tagged along. He fancies himself as an Elvis impersonator but we don't talk about that. It was 2 for 1 happy hour at the Slug and Lettuce. Dwayne has always wanted to see Big Ben but Surfer Bob went on his own to the British Museum. Dwayne's not much into culture, however they both stopped to smell the roses. Bob had his picture taken on the first trip waving from the balcony of Buckingham Palace before the royals did it the next week. This is as close as he got this time around.

Bob is Shunned in London


Bone Marrow Bob traveled to jolly olde England to deliver product. He was most excited to be going while the Royal wedding hullabaloo was going on. He thought, perhaps, he could snag an invite to the wedding of the decade. But no!!! Misfortune reined on our surfer dude. Not only did he not get an invite, no one will ever know he was there because although he was spotted in the West End, at Harrods, Parliament, among other sights, his official photographer inadvertently erased all the photos. What you see here are photos taken from another camera( and believe me the lost photos were ALOT better). The tacky royal window is from the Westminster gift shop. The gardens were in full bloom and gorgeous. The Union Jack was flying everywhere. If you note the green tent in the background, that is for media. Scaffolding was everywhere. NBC has set up shop in Trafalger Square. Did I mention Lulu's house was on the way to the hospital?

Kansas City

Bone Marrow Bob made some new friends on his turn around trip to Kansas City. For all the dissing he does on the TSA. they are usually supportive of his mission. Officer Martinez wanted his picture taken in front of the "Best TSA Station at DFW"after he patted down Bob. The photographer inadvertently cut off the accolade. BMB was met at the airport by Thomas in the Super Shuttle. Its the next best thing to a limo. Finally, Dean met him in the lobby of the hospital to make the exchange. Everyone was thrilled to get to know Bob
