Park Guell is high above Barcelona.

Magical buildings like from a fairytale.

Bed and Breakfast Homes in Sedona AZ

Sedona is known for the red rocks. It often looks hot and dry (because it is often hot and dry). But there are many area of running water. The photo was taken of a stream behind our bed and breakfast. When in Sedona I recommend a stop at the

glass shop in the middle of town. As a glass artist I was very impressed.

The bridge at Ronda

Indeed, it does not look strong enough to support automobiles.

However, I drove over it twice to test it.

The bridge at Ronda holds the two sides of the city together

and is major landmark in Spain.

It is a little of of the way going from Granada to Seville, but worth it.

Reserves in Africa

If you are looking for a safari in Africa and put it off for some reason. And that reason is safety.The reason is not likely valid. When having a good guide and keeping to reserves, you see the best with confidence. This photo is of a road leading up to a lodge in Botswana.

The animals pictured are bronze sculpted by locals.

Amsterdam on two wheels

We took a tour of the canals in a small boat run by Them Dam Boat Guys.

It was much better than riding a tourist boat with canned comments.

We also went where larger boats could not go.

This photo is of a bridge over a canal and shows that almost

everyone in Amsterdam has at least one bike.

The total is estimated at 800,000 bikes; more than one for everyone.

Verona Italy: Colosseum

There are many posts on Facebook right now on Verona.

I have long said that with its walkability and interesting places, it should not be missed. This photo is one of the Colosseum. Which is still in use today for plays and opera. This theatre is in the middle of own.
