Travel photos

I thought I'd add pictures from some of my travels. In 2004 I traveled to Europe with my younger sister and we went to Germany, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, and back to Germany.






I usually take a ton of pictures of scenery and architecture and not many of myself. I did get one of myself overlooking Neuschwanstein Castle. It was cold and snowing and we are on a bridge high over a gorge and I had fallen for the second time on the trip and re-sprained my ankle so it was and adventure to say the least but I has a great great time and would love to go back!















My aunt took this picture in Ireland. This is our second full day there and we are on a bus tour of Connemara (western Ireland). I'm kind of glad the picture isn't closer because I look a little obscene with my tongue out like that.











Karen is taking a picture with her back to the camera. The yellow flowering bush is called gorse and we were there at just the right time to see it everywhere. We started in western Ireland because this is where our ancestors came from.

















Here's a better picture taken shortly thereafter. The land was very barren and rocky and not very green but then it was still April. It wasn't until we got farther east (where the English settled) that the land was better. Here was what they called "beyond the pale."































This was in Dublin at the very end of the trip. We had walked from our hotel to this famous pub (once) owned by a distant relative of ours (Nesbitt has since sold out of the business.) Karen had heard that they would stand you a drink if you could prove you were a Nesbit or at least give you a souvenir shot glass or something but it wasn't true. By that point, she was in a snit at everyone anyway and walked back to the hotel on her own after taking our picture. Oh, well. You really get to know someone when you travel with them.



I have also been to England but that was before the days of digital cameras so I will have to see if I can dig out the photos for scanning. But as I mentioned above, I'm pretty camera shy so there may not be many of me around to be scanned. Perhaps more in the future.



I'd like to do some childhood pictures next though. Those are from slides and are already in the computer. More fun!



At least Pinky thinks so!
