Heck, half the time when I DO have my camera, I leave it in the hotel room. I don't get decent quality with the phone, but at least I have memory triggers.<br /><br />Back in the day, I carried a Nikon with interchangeable lenses. And shot film. Often Black & White.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-18333360143288721722010-01-08T17:12:22.035-07:002010-01-08T17:12:22.035-07:00Good thing you carry your camera around.

Quite rigorous, but they enjoyed it a great deal. And I'd love to see your pictures. I've got some of Genoa and Rome, which is the extent of my travels to Italy.<br /><br />Mary - thanks.

I'd never thought of visiting, but after seeing his pictures and now yours, I think I'll have to put it on my list of places to visit before I die. If I can find my pictures of Cinque Terre, I'll email them to you.

I have Africa pictures on my website from that trip.

What I like about Europe are the traditional old buildings. Here if something has historical significance it stands only until some developer can fill the space with gaudy condos or cookie cutter houses. <br />Keep this up. I love travel photos. <br /><br />RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-8020674096487747342010-01-08T08:27:54.532-07:002010-01-08T08:27:54.532-07:00Renee - thanks.

It was an unexpected cold snap and I was with my daughter who was in shorts. We spent a lot of the time at the Keukenhof looking for indoor greenhouses and drinking hot chocolate (which is VERY good there).<br /><br />And yes, it's fun to look back at the pictures. I know I'll be enjoying lots of fond memories as I dig through files for more Friday Field Trips.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-63575758621840358802010-01-08T07:11:36.864-07:002010-01-08T07:11:36.864-07:00Terry, I too take a lot of pictures when I travel....Terry, I too take a lot of pictures when I travel.
