I have recently been updating all of my social media ect. Pandemic Times here in 2020 have given time to pause and re evaluate life as I know it. I am going to begin again here on my blog that has listed most of my travels. I am trying to remember it is great to be alive and not take anything for granted. Let's give it a whirl during this on line lives that most are living during this Covid - 19 Pandemic. Sending all my best out into the Universe !!!!

Cinque Terre Italy 2014

Amazing Adventures in Northern Italy.

Stockholm Sweden

2013-08-25T14:49:00.000-07:00

A very nice end to a very long journey. The history,the vasa ship and a very large old kingdom. I enjoyed seeing where the nobel peace prize is given and the celebrations take place. Stockholm is a huge city and a huge port.

Riga Latvia

2013-08-25T14:28:00.000-07:00

I really enjoyed Riga. It is right on the baltic sea. A very large city and one of the ports for all of Scandinavia and the baltics.

Warsaw Poland

2013-08-24T10:04:00.000-07:00

Most of Warsaw was bombed and destroyed. It was amazing to visit and see how they restored most of the City. I kept thinking about how when I was in school we learned about places behind the Iron Curtain and how one could not go there. In my lifetime all of that has changed and I was able to go, see, visit and learn about the history in the Baltics. Our guide shared that many people 50

years or older would be happy to go back to the days when everyone had the same. The youth on the other hand love the opportunity to pursue whatever they so choose.

Poznan Poland

2013-08-18T15:43:00.000-07:00

A quaint town on my way to Warsaw Poland. A walk after dinner to the town square in summer was lovely.

Helsinki Finland

2013-08-18T15:37:00.000-07:00

I learned that Russia had a heavy fist over finland for a very long time. They have only had independance since maybe late 50's to early 60's. I did alot of walking here and loved the reindeer symbols everywhere.

Vilnius Lithuania

I had the opportunity to visit the Baltics, Russia, Finland and Sweden this summer. This was my first trip abroad in about three years. It was so nice to go and explore once again. The sights, the sounds, new everything. I love to learn new things and travel allows one to meet new people, try new foods, hear different languages and just immerse yourself in the new and different on all levels. White nights were beginning as we ventured around this part of the world. I made some friends from Trinidad which was so fun. Long summer nights, people from all of the world. I learned so much about history and the human spirit. It was amazing to go to places like Tallin,Warsaw,Vilnius,Parma,Riga and of course St Petersburg Russia. These are places I learned about in school but were behind the iron curtain. I did not think that I would ever have the chance to personally discover this part of the world myself. I can only say if you ever have the opportunity to visit....go for it. My father's life is coming to a conclusion so I am here in Idaho reconnecting with family and friends. It has been nice to visit, reflect and talk with old friends and family. I am very lucky to have a mobile home office that has afforded me the oppotunity to come here for several months. Life goes by quickly.....say what you want to say to others, be who you want to be, have as few of regrets if you can. I know we all have some as that is part of the life experience. I love summertime. It is still my favorite time of year. I am trying to do a mid life reset. Make the choices that allow me to do what matters most to me the next twenty years. Here a some pictures from my excursion. Baltics and parts North !

Mesa Falls

2013-07-27T21:44:00.000-07:00

My dear friend Laura and her husband Steve invited me to go and see Mesa Falls and make a loop through Island Park. It was a gorgeous summer day and we hiked about 2 miles down to see the lower level of the falls but I must say the upper Falls were impressive.

2013-02-25T18:18:00.001-08:00

I took a drive along the South Carolina coast after a Plantation visit. It was so nice. The views as you can see were as some say these days - Epic !

I am filling up my memory bank.

2013-02-24T10:00:00.000-08:00

Tybee Island has a hold on me. I usually take a Sunday afternoon drive after Church each week. It has been something I have never been able to in cold climates until moving to Savannah. I want to remember the views, the sounds of the ocean and wild life and the breezes on my face. I am so lucky to have had a year adventure in the Southern US states. It has been so fun to explore, meet wonderful people. I have tasted such fun new foods, and met some amazing people. I will keep this with me forever. I was able to spend lunch time on my Feb birthday walking on the beach. I appreciate even more all that I have been blessed with to date. My life is not perfect but these experiences fill my soul.

Magnolia Plantation

2013-02-24T09:45:00.001-08:00

What a gorgeous day to explore a Plantation just outside of Charleston South Carolina. I spent a weekend in Charleston proper several years ago but did not get the chance to explore this US history place. I love being outside and exploring new places. It makes me feel alive. I am so lucky to have time to do so. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

The wind was strong but it was actually very beautiful at the beach. I am happy to be so close to the beach for the first time in my life.
