West Valley City, Utah
We had a wonderful evening with friends at Hale Center Theater! We saw BIG RIVER, it was so good, with an actual river and rain! I had to put my feet up and RELAX before it started!

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
Åmål, Sweden
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.

Cruising In The Fjords
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.

Moving On The Rhine
Ducklings Following Mama
Niederkassel, Germany
As, my friend, Christine and I walked thru the forest and along the Rhein, we saw this mother duck with her ducklings right behind her. No matter where she went or what she did, they stayed in this straight line! Notice the Crane behind them watching for dinner.

Amongst The Trees
Along The Rhine
Niederkassel, Germany
From where Christine lives there is a peninsula that juts out into the Rhine. To get there we crossed a small walking bridge and then we walked thru a beautiful forest! Then we walked along the Rhine watching river boats go by, listening to the birds (and there were lots) and enjoying the peace and quiet. I put my feet up and RELAXED. In this photo you can see how high the Rhine is, due to all the rain throughout Europe, the trees normally come out of a beach not the river!

Home of Beethoven
Bonn, Germany
My friend, Christine, and I went to a pottery market in Bonn and there in the middle of it was this statue of Ludwig Von Beethoven who was born in Bonn. He was baptized in 1770 and when we were there in 2002, we visited his home. It is amazing that during the last 10 years of his life he was almost deaf and many of his most admired works come from that period of his life. It makes me want to be the best that I can with the faculties I have!
A side note; I have always loved the name BEETHOVEN! I even had, as a teenager, a small dog I named Beethoven. My grandfather visited us from New Zealand during that time and he couldn’t understand why I named my small dog such a huge name, so he refused to call him Beethoven and always called him Chopin!
