A surprise card from a friend in Oklahoma and she has sent a card after visiting the Chester Gould Museum in Pawnee OK.. Chester Gould is better known as the Creator of the famous comic strip detective and crime fighter "Dick Tracy". This was a comic strip character that became very popular and read and enjoyed all over the world. Chester Gould was born in Pawnee Oklahoma in 1900 and started his drawing career at the age of 7, although it was much later in life that he found his mark. He then created the Dick Tracy character and comic strip in 1931 and continued with it until he retired from it in 1977.. He died in Woodstock Illinois in 1985. This illustration can be found in downtown Pawnee at the corner of 6th and Harrison..I loved this character and all the amazing criminal individuals that he fought with in his comics.. memories..

This is another card that I sent home from "Parklands Railway Terminal" Adelaide South Australia. This journey from Adelaide is once again on the" Indian Pacific " this time from Adelaide to Perth Western Australia. This is another long and (for me ) interesting Train journey that is part of my "Around The World by Train" adventure..The train platform is littered with back packs a good sign that there will be many interesting travelers to talk to over the next few days on the train between here and Perth..The train departs Adelaide" Parklands Terminal" on time 18.45. Time to settle in now for the 40 hour journey ahead. The train will stop twice in this period at Cook (for water ) in the middle of The Nullabour Plains (which has the longest stretch of straight rail line in the world) a distance of 478 kilometers ( 297 miles )., and then late in the evening of day 2 it also stops again at Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, famous for its rich an abundant goldfields.The train arrives in Perth Central at 09.15 on day three after traveling 2,260 kilometers from Adelaide..This is another of the worlds great train journeys of the world and one of many various train trips that I will take over the next few months. One thing that I enjoyed on this train was the hot showers and free towels and soap. as I was traveling budget and in a" Sleep Seat " No other train I encountered in the world offered this service.. ADELAIDE PARKLANDS CENTRAL TO PERTH CENTRAL STATION 2260 KLMS.
