Japan!

My parents and my sister and I just got back from Japan. (As in less than 24 hours ago…) And I thought I would put my favorite pictures from the trip (which was hard seeing how there were hundreds of pictures I took) here. This was my first meal in Japan. And we had to…

Pamplona, Spain

The main reason we went to Spain was to go to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls. Here the three of us are waiting to watch the other three in our group who are running with the bulls. This is how my sister filmed the race. There were people on the fence and people…

Spain part 1

We went to Sunny Spain. And since I am short on time today, I am splitting this into two posts. One of the main things that we did in Barcelona, Spain was to go to Park Guell. It was a fun place to walk around. I thought there were just some interesting lines around the…

Ireland

We had a couple of hours in Ireland. And look at the great place that was our first stop: We went to see Trinity College and look at the Book of Kells. Besides seeing that great book, we got to see the library. And I am sure you all know just how much I drooled…

The Isle of Man

The whole reason for going to Europe this summer was to go to the Isle of Man. This is a place where my ancestors came from and it was great to see so many wonderful things. And this is the part of the trip where all 26 of us were together. So much fun! This…

Scotland!

The second part of our trip was in Scotland. And there was a lot to see that was amazing…so I struggled narrowing down the pictures to share. But here are some of my favorites. This is overlooking Loch Ness. And we of course had to actually go on the Loch. And my ancestors are Scots…

England

I recently went on a vacation. And of course I took a million pictures and wanted to share some of the with you all. And since it was one of those vacations where you go loads of places, this is just the first little bit of what I am sharing. (Yup, more to come…) Our…

Horseshoe Bend of the Grand Canyon

The last time I saw the Grand Canyon was so long ago that I actually don’t remember it.  Apparently I got chicken pox just before or after (or during) the trip. But…I just couldn’t say that I actually remembered going to see the Grand Canyon. Until now. Look, here I am at my first glimpse…

Leiden!

Cammy and I had a layover in the Netherlands. It was about 24 hours. We spent the first half of our time in Amsterdam. Which was great. We had good food. Saw the Anne Frank House and the Van Gough Museum (neither place we could take pictures) and watched the Netherlands play football in the…

Cape Town!

I have just a few more random pictures of South Africa to share. So this is a picture of Table Mountain from Robben Island. That is the island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for so many years. This is a lighthouse on that island. And here are a couple of sunset pictures our last night…
