Paris, France Next Week!

Paris, France

I shall be leaving Houston, TX next week, May 6. Destination - Paris, France. It is at this point that the nervous anticipation of excitement really begins.
Definitely will be stopping in on the iconic Eiffel Tower, touring the Louvre, hopefully also the Orsay. In addition I have a couple of creepy sites on my list including the Père Lachaise Cemetery. Click the clink to see the amazing list of historic folks buried here, from Oscar Wilde to Jim Morrison.
My creepy side also wants to tour the catacombs, massive underground tombs beneath Paris, lined with the bones and skulls of millions of Parisians.

With luck the trip will take me to at least...
London (Stonehenge!)
Scotland (I'm Braveheart!)
Switzerland (Alpine hut to hut hiking!)
Germany (Mad King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein Castle!)
Italy (Art, Food, History!)
Romania (Poenari, the REAL Castle Dracula!)
Greece (Ruins!)
and Egypt (Pyramids!).

I really hope you will follow along and maybe I will meet a few of you on the road. Like Michael in Canterbury who mailed an invite to meet him. Thanks Michael.

Phantom Canyon Road, Colorado

Phantom Canyon Road, Colorado



One of the scariest, most beautiful, and certainly memorable drives I took on
the 14,000 mile USA road trip.
This tiny ribbon of dirt and gravel winds along stunning cliff sides above the
Phantom Canyon from Canon City to Cripple Creek, CO.
Enjoy the images, and let me apologize for their smaller size. Really disheartening
that
I somehow lost the original files, I believe due to the Asus netbook crashing on me.
Lucky for me Facebook hosted some of the images so I was able to save them to
share.

Pedernales Falls State Park, Johnson City, Texas


Me, a few friends, my daughter Lexi and a large group of her friends went camping
this past weekend in the hill country. My buddy Ovi and I visited the striking Pedernales Falls. Check out the album for images of the entire trip.
Lots of other albums there too, be sure to click 'slideshow' in the upper left of the monitor for the best possible view.
