Road Trip - July 2008

We saw these two bears on our way back and forth from Sicamous, one in the parks, and one near Nordegg. They're berry crazy! Had to post 'em.

The Alhambra, Spain - June 9, 2008

These two were taken from the top of Alhambra looking over Granada.



This photo was taken from the bus on the way to Granada from Seville. Not quality, but I liked it.

Seville, Spain - June 8-12, 2008

These were taken in the Plaza d'Espana-huge and beautiful.

And these are from the Seville Cathedral -the most extensive Gothic cathedral in the world.

Villefranche Sur Mer - June 7, 2008

4 hours on the French Riviera-only 1 postable photo :(

Andiamo a Cinque Terre - June 6, 2008

Cinque Terre is a National Park and Unesco World Heritage Site on the west coast of Italy near Tuscany. It's a beautiful, enchanting escape from present day reality.

We found a little stone path down a creek that led to bridges, gates and homes otherwise unreachable. It was extremely rustic and charming.

From the streets, gardens and beaches of the villages...

Holy See - June 5, 2008

Neapolitan Style - June 4, 2008

A beautiful tiled fountain (maybe) still intact in Pompeii.




A view down a Pompeii street.

Two frescoes from Pompeii that I think are beautiful.

A Neapolitan pizza cook-the pizza was delicious.

Maltese Crossings - June 3, 2008

These last 3 were taken in a little church in Valletta. It was beautiful, and full of character.

Barcelona Ramblings - May 30-31, 2008

These first 2 were taken in the Gothic district, I think. I love the random windows in the first one, and the texture of all the different stones and bricks in this one.









These last are some views of La Sagrada Familia-some of the exterior scenes. The whole church is a marvel to behold, and well worth a few hours. For those unfamiliar, Antoni Gaudi designed and built it until his passing, and the construction is still underway.

These flowers were at Park Guell-Gaudi's public park and residence-really cool place to walk around, with great panoramic views of the city and area seen in the first of the 3 photos.
