Thanks for checking out the pictures. The trip to Southern Bavaria was really fun. The weather actually made it seem more cozy if you know what I mean. I can't image what your friend must have went through. We learned while visiting the camp that Gypsies among many others were also victims. I hope you are having a great Sunday! Thanks for the comments Chris and for the geological perspective! Hi Sherry. Thanks for checking out the pictures. The trip to Southern Bavaria was really fun.

When I lived in Tacoma, a lady I worked with was a Dachau survivor. She was not Jewish but from a country (Latvia) that was invaded by Hitler's army. I knew because I had asked her about her tattoo. She never could discuss the time she spent there and always teared up when empathy arrived. There really are no words...I too love beautiful and old architecture. Europe is magnificent with it. I think another reason I love the city of Chicago so much; the architecture in the old buildings is amazing. What wonderful additional photos.

The Swiss and Italian Alps are truly breathtaking. I visited this region of Europe nearly a quarter century ago during a geological field trip, and their grander still resonates in my memory. Geologically speaking, the formation of the Swiss Alps are relatively young--only about 100 million years old. They are the result of tectonic movement: a collision of the European and African plates. The soft layers of the Cretaceous ocean sediment (what is now limestone and dolomite) were compressed and folded as they were slowly thrust upwards. Truly God's country. You'll come away inspired--with a wealth of fodder for new landscape paintings! Sounds like an awesome itinerary! The Swiss and Italian Alps are truly breathtaking.

What a fabulous painting that would make, especially with the backdrop of those beautiful mountains. Arizona is also beautiful; I lived in Tucson for two years while in the Air Force. You and Donna have something so wonderful to look forward to!! Enjoy!! Lee, that castle is so beautiful.
