Hello from New York City! Last week was such a whirlwind, I didn’t even have a chance to post about my upcoming 48 hour trip to New York; hard to believe it is almost half over! I was told last spring by friends of ours that they wished I lived in New York [...]
When I lived in Germany back in 1990-1992, it was expensive to take photographs. I lived about 15 minutes away from the beautiful city of Rothenburg, and I visited it all the time, but I never took a good photo of “The House”. I’ve always regretted not having the photograph that I could [...]
We’ve been just kickin’ back and chilling here in Wurzburg for the past few days. The WiFi option (through T-Mobile, for a price again) isn’t strong in our room, so the only option to get online was to come down here to the lobby area and check email, voicemails, etc.
We arrived on … what [...]
I downloaded all the photos to the backup drive - and left the cables in the car when we parked it. Doh. So no photos, again. Just wanted to check in though - we are in Munich, where we stayed last night after spending the day at the Salt Mine in Berchtesgaden, [...]
I need a holiday from my holiday. So tonight is just “chill time”.
We are currently in Salzburg, Austria. Oh, how I adore Salzburg. Austria’s 4th largest city, and yet it is a short walk to get anywhere. *swoon* I love being able to walk in cities. I love cities [...]
This is a speeeeeeedy update - it cost 2 Euros (about $3) for 15 minutes of internet time. Just long enough to write a FAST post, post photos, and run!
Koln (Cologne), Germany:
Bacharach, Germany (Rhine river valley), where we are staying for 2 nights in the castle overlooking the town:
Burg Eltz (near Mosel river valley):

We left Amsterdam yesterday, after being caught in a huge downpour of rain, and headed to the border of The Holland to Sittard on the train. Karen came to the station to pick us up, and we stayed with her & Jason last night at their house in Havert. Such a nice, small [...]
Jason & I arrived yesterday morning at about 8am (local time) in Amsterdam. After finding the hotel & getting a short nap, we went out and walked around the city. So fabulous to see so many people walking, and so many bikes. I always knew that there were a lot of bikes [...]
I’ve finally seen SUNSHINE today! This is HUGE considering all the rain we’ve had. We’ve already had 3.85 inches for July, and our average for July is 4 inches. Yeah, we were all starting to be a bit waterlogged. However, with the sun coming out, the heat has returned. It [...]
One of my favorite shots of the sunset over Manhattan, as viewed from Fulton Ferry Landing at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. So much better if you view it large.
Before I could finish editing the photos from my trip to Philly and New York, I had to wrap up the proofs from the [...]
As usual, I didn’t sleep well at on Wednesday night. I never do when I travel. But we got to the airport early, the security line was long and sucky because they only had 2 scanners open, and then I had lots of time before my flight. Bumpy ride, bad weather, blah [...]
