Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley - April 2006

Fields and fields of color! Never have I seen such varieties of tulips! There are even black tulips. Walking through such washes of color is amazing.

Southern France - July 2006

We traveled from Paris, south to Carcassonne and then on to the beaches in southern France! We saw castles, ancient churches and many pay highways. In Carcassonne, we watched the Tour de France cyclists zip into the city. Climbing the stairs to the top of sandy dunes was a highlight. Getting robbed while sleeping in our hotel was not cool.

Sizzling Cuban beaches - July 2008

One week in an idyllic Cuban beach resort is a trip to remember. Light blue water, a trip to Havana's markets and sipping a drink while reading my book on a hammock were highlights here! Click on this link to hear some Cuban music!http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8444068312052750274##
