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)



The countryside below the castle in Germany


This is the castle that Walt Disney copied when he started Disney Land


We took this paddleboat down the river outside of Dresden. It was a 2 1/2 hour ride to the following island.
