Along the Way

Rome, Italy

As I went for a walk I came across this bike, I thought this was the perfect photo with beautiful Roman Pines in the background.

Roman Drinking Fountain

Rome, Italy

I was off on a walk and look what I found, a Roman drinking fountain, in Italian a nasone or a fontanella.  I was so excited that I had to show my family, so I made a video.  We all laughed as I put my finger under the running water to have the stream of water come out, it did, and it hit me in the face.

Cerveteri, Italia

When we were in Italy in 2005 we met up with our friends, Remo & Arianna at a delicious restaurant. As I got out of the car I could see the sun was setting, so I ran across the street to get this photo. LOVE it!

Lucca, Italy

After a fun day of seeing the sights in and around Lucca we went to Francesco and Paola’s for homemade pizza.  I put my feet up and RELAXED as I waited for the fire to get hot enough.  By the way, the pizza was DELISH!

Wall of Lucca

Lucca, Italy

After a long, but great drive from Zagreb, Croatia, we made it to Lucca, Italy. Lucca is the birthplace of Craig’s grandfather. Lucca has an ancient wall, (completed in the 13th century) that surrounds it’s historic center, like all cities of it’s time, but this is one of the best preserved in Europe.  In the 1800’s, the top of the wall was planted with trees and grass turning it into a huge park, it is a pleasant place to walk or ride a bike and it is the only wall in Europe where a car can drive all the way around the top of it. Lucca was founded by the Etruscans and became a Roman colony in 180 BC.

Brussels is a beautiful city, full of history and art.  One of it’s famous statues is this one (Little Man Pee) that we found after a little searching back in 2005.  Apparently, he does get dressed from time to time, during celebrations.

Greenland or Iceland?

Iceland

I heard, sometime ago, that Iceland and Greenland’s names were suppose to be the opposite, some how they got mixed up! Well, I believe that is true, what do you think?  This is Iceland.

Back To Rain

Gothenburg, Sweden

When we arrived in Gothenburg 2 1/2 months ago, it was cold and rainy, now it is still rainy, though not quite as cold! So, once again I put my feet up and RELAXED! Having said all that, the next day it was sunny and warm and the figure on the horse, yes the statue, had a scarf on!

Lake Vanern

We were only in Norway a few days, not long enough! It is a beautiful country and we look forward to returning someday and exploring other areas! We returned to Sweden, the last leg of our amazing journey! We stopped and ate dinner in a small town, Amal, which has a lot of refugees. Our waiter was a Kurd. We saw this beautiful view, looking thru the trees at Lake Vanern.

Vigeland Sculpture Park

Oslo, Norway

We took a city tour of Oslo and saw some cool things and strange things. We went to Vigeland Sculpture Park which is within Frogner Park and has over 200 statues by Gustav Vigeland. The weird thing is that all the bronze and granite statues are naked. So, because of that I won’t be showing many, but I did get this photo showing a grandma type figure consoling a young man and behind them are a man and women enjoying a conversation.

This bridge connects two of the larger islands in Denmark, which is made up of ever 400 islands. We went under this bridge in our ferry journey to Norway. We crossed a similar bridge (longer one) from Sweden to Denmark more than 2 months ago!
