AS FAR NORTH AS YOU CAN GO IN DENMARK

On Sunday we headed for Skagen, Denmark where the two parts of the North Sea meet.

We walked out to the very tip

This is part of a German bunker from WW2 that is now in the sea



Other than being slightly cold, it was awesome

My Italian Angel

Angels exist all around the world, and this is mine here in Italy. This is Val, our next door neighbor. I am not sure what I would have done without her help.

GROCERY SHOPPING ON BIKE

VACATION PHOTOS

We took a weeks vacation while on the way to Denmark for business. Traveling through Europe brought both beautiful sites and difficult challenges (mostly because the language changes in every country). But, the challenges were never unsurmountable. Here are some pictures. Unfortunately, there is no way you can capture the real beauty of the area.

Lunch in Austria


Can you see the zip line and gondola behind Alan? We were crazy enough to ride it to the top of the peak you can just see behind the clouds. The ride and the view from the top of the mountain were breathtaking.. (literally)

BANANA PLANT RACE

This will only make sense to those of you who follow the blogs of our entire family.

How are these for banana plants. See what you have to look forward to. I just had to bike down and get these pictures after the banana plant challenge was issued.
