How about 49 pictures of the Swiss countryside from the passenger seat of a car??? 😝🤓😁😎 I love thoroughly documenting my travels through pictures. Even if it is from a moving car!

As a huge fan of California, one of my favorite places is Big Sur. Mountains and the Pacific are soothing sights and sounds for me. A beautiful icon of the are is the Bixby Creek Bridge, one of the most iconic photographed bridges in California. This bridge sits just south of Carmel, in Monterey County,... Continue Reading →
European trip musings #8: We arrived at our hotel in Sion, Switzerland, after the afternoon we spent in Lucerne. We chose this area, as it wasn’t far from Zermatt, and it was also a good stopping point on our way to Italy. The Moxy is a Marriott property, and if there are any in the... Continue Reading →
This airport convenience store in one of the terminals at LAX caught my eye as I recognized the name as the magazine of the same name. What I really loved was the tiled column and wall, which looked to be tiles modeled after pieces cut out of a magazine. As many airports as I see... Continue Reading →

This lake is the fourth largest in Switzerland, at 44 square miles, with a maximum depth of just over 700 feet. With its four basins, it resembles the shape of a cross. Surrounded by the Pilatus and... Continue Reading →
European trip musings #4: This group of young women performing on the street made me think of Sound of Music. It definitely added to the ambiance of the city. More street views as we walked along the brick and cobbled streets. More amazing architecture, and a wide variety of shops. This is known as Old... Continue Reading →
European trip musings #3: After wrangling the rental car into a space in the parking garage, we set off to see some of Lucerne on foot. Being raised in the suburbs, cities, especially old ones, fascinate me. I always love the architecture of the buildings, and Lucerne was my first glimpse of what lay ahead... Continue Reading →
European trip musings #2: Here are some pics of Lucerne from the car. We stopped by Lucerne after landing in Zurich, on our way to Sion, Switzerland. This was also our first experience of finding (and navigating) a parking space. Parking garages in Europe seem to be largely underground. Something us Floridians are not used... Continue Reading →
