The streets are old cobblestone, after a visit in my chair, I still rattle on the way home! I always think of you Marc!!
I can't visit my town because it's old buildings, built on a hill, none are wheelchair accessible as most have a step to get into them. Unless DH takes me there (very rare) in manual chair and takes me up and over steps backwards using his strength, I never go. It's all over-priced anyway. Cute as heck to drive through but I visit rarely. My world here in MD is not very wheelchair friendly.

It's actually pretty amazing how much of the world isn't wheelchair friendly.
My wife and I have family in the Baltimore area, so we know it fairly well. The crab cakes are amazing! Have you been to the restaurant G&M? The crab cakes there are almost indescribably good...
I know what you mean about still rattling after you've gone over some bumpy pavement. There are some cobblestoned areas here in New York, and going over them can be very discombobulating...

Ugh, computer viruses! Do you have Spybot Search and Destroy? If not, you can download it for free (just google it) and it's very good at weeding out all kinds of nasty stuff from your computer...

I can SO relate to some of the issues you talked about when you're in a wheelchair. The UK is the same also and doesn't have any smooth road surfaces which makes it hard to push the wheelchair and leaves me feeling pretty sick!!!! I wish they would do something about it but for some reason, they wont and just think it is OK and not a problem!!
Thanks again for sharing - it is so fun to watch your videos and I cant wait to see more soon!!!!  |
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, all the way across the pond over in England. It is amazing how oblivious those not disabled are to the problems that we face trying to get around town in our wheelchairs. I hate to admit it, but I think I was just as oblivious when I was still able to walk...

It's going to be a new olypmic event in the south mud bogg competitions between the Baby Carriage Mafia and the crazy wheelchair bandits. LOL

Now that's a battle I'd love to see. I'm glad you enjoyed the video...
