Monkey Island, Phi Phi Islands, Thailand, 2012 – Canon s100

We had a wonderful time with our son and his family as we visited the Phi Phi Islands!  We went on a speed boat, full speed out into the ocean for an hour and then arrived at the Phi Phi Island.

Cruising on the Yangtze River

China

On a trip to China in 2008, we took a cruise up the Yangtze River.  Some of the highlights were; going up the locks to the top of the dam, after a good nights sleep, watching the sunrise on the river and meeting the wonderful Chinese people!  It was an awesome adventure!

The Marble Boat

When visiting China in 2008, we went to the Summer Palace.  It consists of many gardens & many lakes and it is gorgeous.  At the Summer Palace is found The Marble Boat built in 1750 A.D. during the Qing Dynasty.  Obviously, the boat cannot float, it was used by Empress Cixi for lakeside dining and receptions.

Treaty of Waitangi

Waitangi, New Zealand

We had a wonderful time at Waitangi where we saw a re-enactment of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi and learned the history of it.  It is a beautiful setting and we felt a peaceful spirit there.

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!

Mirror Lake

Because of the amount of snow the Uinta Mountains get, you can’t get up to Mirror Lake until the summer.  In July of 2004 I took a friend up there.  The higher we climbed the worse the weather got, until it was raining really hard.  Even so, it was still gorgeous and the boat in the photo just added to it.

Sunrise

Cascais, Portugal

I awoke early to look out the window and see the sunrise, it was spectacular as the sun rose over the ocean.  It brought a lot of joy to me!
