Starting Over Again

Since our last blog was taken away by mysterious powers that be, I am learning how to do a blog all by myself.  A huge learning curve for me.  I am in my 22nd year teaching and my 5th year in Kindergarten and am loving it every day.  Kindergarteners are so much fun.  We had the best summer going to Europe to see Amy and her family and taking a tour to some other countries while we were there.  Here we are in front of the Coliseum in Rome, Italy.


Shirley and I throwing coins in the fountain backwards, wishing to return again someday.

On our way to the Sistine Chapel.

 Visiting the site where the new Rome temple will be built, it was a long taxi drive to get there.

Shirley at the tops of the Alps in Switzerland.

Visiting Dacau, a very sad and depressing place.  The sign says Work Makes Free meaning they worked the prisoners to death, then they were free.

Leaving Edelweiss, a resort in Bavaria, which is a state of Germany.

Liechtenstein, a very very small country.

The Mona Lisa in the Louvre in Paris.  There was a crowd of people around it that you had to fight to get close enough to take this picture.


The Eiffel Tower from the ground looking up.

Goodbye Amy's beautiful family.  See you next year when you return to the United States.

Good going on the blog! Your trip looks FABULOUS! It's so great you got to have a grand vacation, and see family.

I lived in Germany for 7 years, since my dad was in the Army. I LOVED it, and wish to return with Warren. It's just an amazing place.
