Croatia

The link with Snapfish is currently not working so here are some pictures from Croatia. Gotta tell ya, this place is a feast for the senses. The colors here are just so bright... from the torquoise Plitvice Lakes to the bright green hills to the red-orange roofs and the perfect blue Aegean Sea perfectly balanced with the grey stones of the buildings. The streets are worn smooth on your feet. The wines, cherry brandy, seafood and ice cream just calls for you more. I couldn't breathe in enough lavander flower stalls, grape fields, salty sea breezes, crisp clean air from the damp forests in Plitvice. Czech Republic, a set on Flickr.

Czech Republic

Czech Republic, a set on Flickr. Snapfish still not working to post a thumbnail of all the pictures, so I put them here for now. Prague was our first stop into Europe and we loved it! Enjoy the pictures.

Lots of Favorites added to check out

So I know that it's been awhile since we have been able to post pictures and all on the website, but we've just uploaded some new favorites!

The new ones are India, Nepal, Mauritius, Madagascar, Mt. Kilimanjaro/East Africa (minus Tanzania), Tanzania, Malawi, and Zimbabwe.

We will be able to update another set of favorites hopefully pretty soon-- Botswana/ Namibia.

We have had a blast traveling the world, especially Africa. Though the internet wasn't great there, it was full of richness and diversity, whether it was of the people, animals, or environment. A new adventure was truly around every corner!
