The towns of Trogir and Zadar offer an endless variety of narrow walkways and cobbled streets and old churches. Each is small enough to be covered easily in an hour or two.

Some things never change Leave a comment
Today we traveled to Strasbourg, where I had been over 40 years ago as part of a ninth-grade class trip when I was going to school in Brussels. I remember little except that I had bought some cherries at the market near the cathedral and offered them to the girl I had a crush on but who had heretofore ignored me. But that day I got not only a ‘thank you’ from her but also a smile. I was in heaven.
I took the first picture on that trip and the second one today. It’s nice to know that in a world of constant change, some things remain the same:
Colmar, Alsace Leave a comment
October is the perfect time to visit this Alsatian gem, as the crowds have thinned, the weather is gorgeous, and the city’s balconies are still filled with geraniums.
Fairytale Alsace Leave a comment
First time visit to Alsace left me impressed: Germany doesn’t have a monopoly on cute little towns filled with half-timbered houses! In fact, the towns in Alsace are prettier because they are more colorful, especially these 3 along the Alsatian Wine Road.
Colmar at Night Leave a comment
This quaint little town is quite crowded during the day, but at night it is peaceful yet equally beautiful.

Everyone knows the Taj Mahal, but there are plenty of other and very impressive tombs in the area.

Sign of the booming economy in the DC area. I was struck by the angles of this view of a construction site in McLean, VA.

Grocery shopping, 150 years ago. I can only imagine what wonderful sounds that old cash register made when used (see last pic).

Abandoned Amusement Park Leave a comment
Captured at South of the Border truck stop. Sad that these rides were decommissioned, I’m sure at some point kids LOVED to stop here to enjoy the rides while parents got a break from the incessant ‘are we there yet?’ from the backseat. Click on any pic to see them in their full glory (i.e. slideshow format).
South of the Border 1 comment
Stopping at South of the Border (between N. Carolina and S. Carolina on I-95) is like a trip back in time. This giant truck stop is definitely a 50’s throwback! Click on any pic to see them all in slideshow format. I especially liked the restaurant shaped like a sombrero.

Squint a little and see how the shadows turn into stairs (or maybe you see something entirely different?). I enjoyed the angles and the play of light and shadows on a recent walk through New York.
