We had a long walk today, about 6 miles, so it was nice to just sit and RELAX for a bit!

Gothenburg, Sweden

We had a nice walk thru the park and we saw a lot of other people doing the same thing! There are a lot of Hooded Crows throughout Scandinavia and Europe. They are black and grey and I think they are pretty birds!

We had a wonderful flight to Sweden!  It is a beautiful country as seen by the view as we landed!  Lots of pine trees and tons of lakes.

Meat and Cheese

Brienz, Switzerland

In Switzerland, some years ago, we drove way up on a mountain and the view was gorgeous.  We hadn’t eaten for a while, so we found a fun place to eat and we loved the platter of meat and cheese they brought us.  This is called Walliser Platte which is a typical Swiss lunch.

While out walking with friends thru the mountains northeast of Rome, back in 2007, we came across this beautiful Butterfly (Farfalla).

La Farfalla di Rosa

We went up into the mountains north of Rome with some friends and there, in 2007, we had a wonderful time at our friend’s cabin, Enrico & Letizia.  At one point we all went for a walk, it was gorgeous!  Amongst the trees were these beautiful butterflies, tiny and very small.  My friend Rosa, put one on her hand, so I call this one, La Farfalla di Rosa (Rosa’s Butterfly).

Church in the Valley

In 2007 we flew to Munich, Germany and from there we took a train to Italy where we picked up our rental car and then we drove back to Germany where we did a loop ending back in Italy.  It was cheaper to do it this way so we could drop off our car back in Italy.  The train ride was so peaceful and the views were beautiful as we went thru the mountains!

In 2005 we spent some time in Italy, Albania & Belgium.  As we left Rome and flew to Brussels we flew over the Swiss Alps and they were gorgeous!

Durres, Albania

I thought for the next few days I’d show you some beautiful photos of Albania. We were privileged to go there in 2005 with our daughter who served an LDS Mission in Albania. What a wonderful experience it was as we meet the lovely people of Albania and felt her love for this ancient country!

Love the Colors

AL6b-0505.SM

Tirana, Albania

I love the colors of the buildings throughout Tirana. From what I was told, after Communism fell the people wanted to forget their past, so they painted their buildings bright colors as a sign of a new future.

Capital City

Tirana, Albania

Tirana was surprisingly a very large city and much more modern than I was expecting. The people of Albania are humble, wonderful people!  We loved our trip to Albania!
