Where We Were and When: The pictoral review

Follow "Where We Were and When" through a few of my pictures!






Day 1: Our journey begins at the Sioux Falls airport!





Day 1: "What are you doing here?!?" Lisa and Kira both happen to be hanging out at the Boston International Airport for the same 30 minutes!




Day 3: The "Heineken Experience" at the Brewery in Amsterdam was truly an experience! We had such a good time during this interactive tour that we left Amsterdam later than we intended!




Day 4: We finally arrive in Bunde after some "delays" to stay with friends of Jennie's grandparents. This is Frederick and Jennie posing with the Bunde tea lady in the city of Leer, which is just a few minutes from Bunde!




Day 6: Prague looking over the river at Charles Bridge. This was a beautiful city, and we really enjoyed the 3 days we spent here. We loved Prauge, but the trains through the Czech Republic were an entirely different story.. errr... actually there's more than one!


Day 10: Heidleberg, a city in Southern Germany, was a great stop. This is the spectacular view from Heidleberg Castle. We climbed all the way up to the castle on a cobblestone road. Might I add I was wearing flip flops!



Day 11: Geneva, Switzerland. By far one of our favorite stops, and probably my favorite. This is a sculpture outside the International Red Cross building. A very powerful stop. Next time I travel to Europe, it will be to Switzerland.




Day 12: Paris and the Eiffel Tower! We had a wonderful evening in Paris down by the Eiffel Tower! I always thought the Eiffel Tower wouldn't be that impressive, but it is truly magnificent in person.




Day 15: London! We stayed with my friend Kelly from high school and had a nice and relaxing time in London. We saw many sights (including Big Ben pictured to the left) and a couple museums. We even took some time to pop into a local pub in Notting Hill. It was a great end to our journey!


For those of you who couldn't see the pictures on-line, I thought I would point out a few of the highlights from the trip for you. It is great to be back, but we really had a wonderful time! I hope to see a lot of you at Jazz Fest! Check out the site for who is performing and when!
