Went to see family, want to return!

‘nuf said.

More Van Gogh than I cared to see, and it was crowded with hoards of dutiful tourists rushing through spotting the “famous” pictures. I think the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam has a collection with more heart. However, if you make it to the Musee you shouldn’t miss the Gaugin wood carvings. They are truely lovely!

It’s hard to get to, but isn’t that the point? You know you want to hike in a remote place, right?

When you realize that the eiffel tower is actually like Golden Gate park for the French and not just a tourist trap, you can enjoy it more. Great place to watch kids and dogs. I always appreciate 19th century buildings, and this one is a doozy. Pretty at night when they turn on the lights.

Yes, it’s a big church. You’ll have more fun people-watching outside.

I want to buy a water facing condo at the market when I retire. Yeah, dream on. Any of us will actually get to retire. sigh.

My favorite part is building the city and watching it go away again each year.

I did a camping/van trip up the coast and back. Good times!

I grew up in Randolph. You wouldn’t expect it, but NJ has severe weather. Hot muggy summers, cold icy winters. I can say I saw the most beautiful winter day in my life in Randolph. Overnight rain turned to ice and snow when the temp dropped. In the morning, the skies were clear, and all the twigs and leaves had a shiny coating of ice. It was a wonderland.
