Getting there by b1bob
The best part of a trip to a friend's house is arrival, when the adventures have just begun. Mark was waiting for me at the unimpressively designed Charlotte train station at 1914 N. Tryon. We took a nice late meal at Don Quijote on the way in. We were doing the Spanish thing all the way, eating Spanish food at the same time of day they would take supper in Spain. On arriving to Mark's house south of Uptown, he showed me to the most comfortable room in the house. He introduced me to Kirby, his security-conscious cat. You will be even more amazed by Mark's VT page building abilities when I report to you that he did all this (through March, 2003) with a 56K dial-up modem. Shortly after this picture was taken, Mark got a new laptop and a high speed connection!
