Picture Box Tour of Europe

A week is not enough to recover from my European voyage and one post is not enough to describe it all. The current photo tour of Italy-Austria-Germany-Prague runs about 2 hours long and the abbreviated tour goes for about 30 minutes. But to simplify it all I have now uploaded the pictures onto my photos page for all to see. Of course, all the stories behind some of the photos are lost and there are some things a photo can't capture, but looking through these will at least get you some idea of what we experienced while over there. Just so that you're not completely on your own I thought I should give just the short-short tour of the trip with the assistence of some key photographs:

In our short stay in Rome we did get to see the Pope in his little Pope-Cart.

In Florence I recreated one of my more infamous poses with some of the local art.

Next up was a short stop in Venice with the famed canals and gondoliers.

We left Italy and headed towards the Austrian Alps where we spent a couple days in Salzburg, home of Mozart and the Von Trapps. "The hills are alive...."

In Germany we stopped in the medieval town of Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber where our nightwatchman tour guide told us about the town's history as well as to go to Hell (the pub he's pointing at).

I thought I'd sneak in a photo of the choir we were following across Europe. Here they are performing at a church in Leipzig during the German leg of our tour.

After hitting the German hot spots of Hof, Eisenach(?), and Wittenburg we set off for the Czech Republic to visit Prague, where we would end our tour. I was pretty sick once we got here so I didn't get to see much of the city, but what I did see I enjoyed.

By the end of the tour we had covered a lot of ground, yet through it all, we made sure that we always had plenty to drink.

This concludes the short "picture-box tour" of Europe, but there is so much more that cannot be captured here. If nothing else check out the rest of the pictures for further detail and I am still willing to give guided tours with stories to those who request. Only 2 Euro charge!
