<P> That's me, Didier from Belgium (of The Answer Gang fame) and Mick from
|
|
Ireland (of News Bytes fame) in Chester, England during my UK trip in July. We
|
|
spent the day in Chester walking on the medieval wall, looking at Roman
|
|
columns, and visiting the Roman amphitheater and the Chester Cathedral. More
|
|
pictures from my trip are at
|
|
<A HREF="http://iron.cx/pix/">http://iron.cx/pix/</A> in the 2002 section.
