Our Family! Now we visit family and friends in Sestri Levante. On the west coast of Italy, about a 30 minute train ride from Genova. This picture shows some of the relatives that are direct cousins to my mother. We found our family about 5 years ago. It was a very emotional time for us… Continue reading Europe 2018 – Sestri Levante, Italy

Europe 2018 – Siracusa, Sicily
Etna! Well, this is about the closest we got to Mount Etna, so you get to see the one shot we got of it. I suppose a good tourist would of gone there and gone up, but Nancy and I were never very good at being tourist. So..................................................... Instead we went to Siracusa, a waterfront… Continue reading Europe 2018 – Siracusa, Sicily
Europe 2018 – Palermo and more……
Things we just don't see! This is kind of an unusual picture to start with, so let me explain. I thought that I would use up this blog to tie up loose ends with all the pictures we have taken so far. In particular to look at some of those items that we just don't… Continue reading Europe 2018 – Palermo and more……
Europe 2018 – Palermo, Sicily II
These are the bells of Monreale! This cathedral is a about 10 kilometers outside of the center of Palermo. It was completed in 1184 after only 10 years of work. We took a bus up there, as it is up on a little mountain. This is an incredible place! The thing that makes this place… Continue reading Europe 2018 – Palermo, Sicily II
Europe 2018 – Palermo, Sicily
Now, normally I would start a post with a picture of a sign or something that states where we are. However, this picture proceeds that idea in this post because we could not find a an espresso in London terminal 3 that was in a real ceramic cup. And we are pretty strict about not… Continue reading Europe 2018 – Palermo, Sicily

This was a fortuitous meeting the day before we are… Continue reading Europe 2018
Wandering the West – Going Home
Onward to Washington. We spent a day in Pasco, Washington where Gary again connected with a friend from earlier in his life. Pasco wasn't much to see. The Columbia river, Farmland, Trains, And some cute goats, To be fair, we really did not stay in Pasco long. We arrived late one evening and were gone… Continue reading Wandering the West – Going Home
Wandering the Western States – Going Home
We are headed back home. For this part of the trip, we really have not had a particular plan. So we decided to go back through Idaho. But first, we had to get around the eastern border of Glacier Park, which took a while, especially when you see local home made fry bread along the… Continue reading Wandering the Western States – Going Home
Wandering the Western States – Glacier National Park
We finally made it to Glacier National Park. We spent one beautiful day there, mostly on Going to the Sun Road, which takes you up into a glacier. This is a spectacular drive that everyone should put on their bucket list. However, if you are overtly nervous about skinny mountain roads with a cliffs on… Continue reading Wandering the Western States – Glacier National Park
Wandering the Western States – Montana
We are in Montana. This was the one state we really wanted to make it to on this trip, because of Glacier National Park. But first we passed through an area that Gary had worked in when he was younger. Missoula is a city on our way to Flathead Lake. We spent the night at… Continue reading Wandering the Western States – Montana
