Another favorite spot

Probably our favorite destination - the Cinque Terre in Italy. We visited here four years ago during Easter break and shortly before Luke's graduation from BFA. It comprises five villages that are located on a rugged portion of the Italian Riviera. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Part of its charm is the lack of visible "modern" development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach it from the outside. If you enjoy hiking, this is a great place to visit. We hiked the path that connects all 5 of the villages. The views are spectacular!

These are a few of my favorite things

I have been looking through old photos this week and feeling a little nostalgic. These pictures were taken in Adelboden, Switzerland, one of our favorite places on earth!












This is the bench that Tim and I were sitting on when he proposed to me in September, 1986. The bench is located in Adelboden and overlooks the majestic Alps!

The hills are alive!

Auto and Technik Museum

During our week-end away, we visited a great museum which houses a large collection of trains, planes, and cars. The section that displayed American cars was very impressive. Below is just a sampling of what we saw.










Check out the English description below these three pictures. We had to smile at some of the not-so-perfect translations.
