Amalfi Coast, Our pictures

Click here to go on our Trip

These are the pictures that Jill and I took on the trip. Wow, there are a lot of em. But, it was so beautiful, now that we are home I wish that we had taken more. The views from on top of Positano and Amalfi looking down on the city are great but do not do justice to the actual experience. We met some very fun people on this trip; Mark and Julie, Betsy (a hoot to say the least) , Mike and Mary,,,, John and Susie. B&R really puts on a great affair.
As you look at the pictures i hope that you can see that we had a great time.

Amalfi Coast Hike, Pictures taken by our guide Cezar

We had a great time on the coast, Capri, Positano, Amalfi and Revello. The food is to die for. The people on the tour were great and they could hike with the best of em.
The B&R people really put together some special events. Hope you enjoy the view.

I think that i love Italy and the Italians better each time we go and we have done Italy to be sure.

Fishing in Canada

Myron and friends of Myron. Great time and I caught a little old 34 1/2 " Northern Pike, which for me ws a big fish. I also happened to run into some Small Mouth Bass. Got some Walleyes but I am here to tell you that Walleye fishing is no real fun. Just sitting jigging and waiting for them to jump on the line.

Thanks Myron, I really think that this trip has got me 'hooked' on the fresh water fishing thing. I'm ready to do it again!

Lisa and Jay's house in Minnesota

It was great to finally see the house that the family has put together. They are such a wonderful family. The house really feels like a home. I could not be happier or more proud of them for all that they have done.

The Galapagos Islands

Click here for pictures

This was a good time for us all very casual and so laid back.
Swimming with the turttles and the sea lions was the highlight of the trip.

The last 8 or so pictures are of Quito, Ecuador the Galapagos are just off of the coast of Ecuador.

The animals are so used to people that you could just walk upa nd take the pictures.
This was so interesting.

Machu Picchu, Peru

Gilmar, was our gide for this trip. He has to be one of the best guides that we have ever had on any of our tours. It is a lot of fun traveling with Billy and Myron. They are so easy to send the time with......
You will see us strattl'n the equator, taking the Orient Express up to Machu Picchu, shopping in the local outdoor "mall",,, we had a ball.

Words can not describe how amazing Machu Picchu is in person. The how did they do that is not enough...... spacemen, that is the only explaination. This was all done prior to the Incas having any form of writting.......

5 -10 - 16 ton stones grond down so flat that they are table tops, fitting so close together that you can not slide a knife blade between them. It is beautiful, the people are friendly, the food is great,,,,, what more could one ask...

This is a beautiful location. The pictures can not do it justice. Up at the Splendido Hotel Jill had to have a hat for $50.00 thank you very much.......

Notice that even the little old ladies ride scooters. See the yachts, wow, these are some big boats,, i wonder how many rentals it would take to buy one of those!!!!!

But, this is the prettiest place that we have been to yet.
