Yo! Vacation pictures

[bags27]

I was underwhelmed by Capri, honestly. It was more touristy than the other parts of Italy we saw. The water was gorgeous, though.

Ditto. I loved Amalfi. Spectacularly beautiful. But Capri was crawling with tourists (like us!).

If you've never been to the Alsace in France, you're missing a lot... A marriage of French and German in everything... This is from last fall at the time of their grape harvest.

Or this from the Col de la Schlucht, famous from the Tour de France...

And a soccer game from Dortmund... Fabulous atmosphere...

Pictures not so likely - but
- The St. Louis Arch, The St. Louis Zoo, the glass art of Craig Mitchell Smith at the Missouri Botanical Gardens
- Taliesin, the home of Frank Lloyd Wright in Wisconsin
- now in Vermont - Lighthouse Cruise on Lake Sunapee, NH tomorrow
- will be in NJ for 5 days, bury my Mom's ashes and not sure what we will be seeing.
- return to Pittsburgh to see a glass art show at the Phipps Conservatory - we were in Pittsburgh over the weekend, but the wife was ill, as is common.

Plus lots of friends and family at various places. A month all told.

Pennecamp is a great dive when the weather is right, but be sure to put Key West on your dive bucket list for future visits. The reef north and south of Sand Key is awesome as is the reef around Calder Light.

I'd love to haul butt and get to Key West - just not enough time. Was down there to bird the Dry Tortugas (pre-diving). Will settle for my first Florida dive and go from there

I just spent a week in LA stuck in traffic for most of the trip if that counts?

Nan...your photos are awesome...I went to the same places and took pictures but yours...are something else. What kind of camera did you shoot them on?

 

[noirwestern]

No - but the Maserati Bora revving his engine to creep forward six inches at a time for a few miles sure made me pine for a boom mike and a small reel to reel deck.

My kids hated the food in Strasbourg. I had some awful potato sour cream dish as well.

iPhone 6. M kids have Samsungs and the pictures are even better.

The canal in Milan.

Ahhh, but if you are with some locals, and married to a girl from just across the border, you have a much better chance of a decent meal.

I was with my wife's cousin, avid fan, who procured premium seats complete with unlimited food and drink before, during and after... I can't remember who played.

Pulisic is the young, new American "phenom". #22 for Dortmund. Sounds like you had a great time.

I needed a local. My wife's family is actually from right across the border (in Luxembourg) but no current relatives are around. I'm sure the meals were fine, just not what any of us were used to!

Jeez,,, Two Ferraris and a Lamborghini in the same picture... Pretty cool...

Yes, I know who he is but he wasn't the star of the show... Match was against SC Freiburg. Aubameyang and Dembele were outstanding that night. 80,000 in attendance...

Just spent the last 10 days in the gorgeous Canadian Rockies. I'll upload a few pics:
