High School Basketball

This evening I went to see a friend place basketball at his High School.

I couldn't get over the size of the sports hall, the professionalism of the umpires, the electronic scoreboards and running commentary of who performed a foul!

Unfortunately the team I was supporting lost, but it was a very good game.

Festival of Lights

Spent Sunday evening at the Cincinnati Zoo enjoying the festival of lights.

It was an amazing experience. Firstly, never gone to a zoo at night (the penguins were asleep and the chimpanzees were rolling into their blankets ready for a good night's sleep!). Secondly, never seen so many Christmas lights (at times I felt I was on the set of the Avatar Hollywood film!).

SUPERB.

Snowing in Cincinnati

This morning I woke up to snow. It's no where near the amount that fell on the UK, but Cincinnati has had some.

I drove to Ault Park and took a couple of photos and then headed to Kenwood shopping mall where I took another one (lovely to see a Christmas tree with snow on!).

Christmas Is Coming To Mason Ohio

Tonight I went out with friends for dinner. Had a wonderful time.

When we left the restaurant we drove through a housing estate and saw some quality Christmas lights. Seemed that there was healthy competition going on between next door neighbours!

Here's a photo of one house with an array of outside lights and a "classy" (not) blow up snowman. Nice...
