Travel Plans

Travels plans don't always happen as planned. This year was suppose to be the year I returned to Europe, but life events and plans changed. Tell that to my calendar.

I use my google calendar and during a planning stage earlier this year, my sons and I had chosen the best weeks to travel to Europe in the fall. Naturally I entered them in my calendar. Then over the course of time and recovering from a car accident our plans were postponed.

This month a reminded popped up on my phone reminding me that European travel was right around the corner. I had been thinking of the disappointment of changed plans, but when the reminded popped I actually felt happy and pleased. I had planned and the though of the possibilities made me smile. I left it on my calendar and every day I would get a reminder and lived a bit lighter each day remembering my former trip.

2013 will ring in with the hope of new possibilities - travel to Europe is on my list!!

illy Coffee - Around a Corner in Budapest

We set a routine after a few days of walking on familiar streets. One day we took one block behind us as we hit the corner by our hotel and found this absolutely beautiful avenue. The pace was slower and lacking tourists - folks talking and enjoying their day. This became another favorite stop to sit and rest after a long day.

Attended a niece's wedding Friday and am now relaxing.

Exploring Buda as in Budapest

Sorry I have been absent. Quite excited to blog about Budapest again.
Budapest is divided by the Danube River hence Buda and Pest. Let's start out in Buda looking at Pest. I was experimenting by shooting/photographing in a restaurant seating area across the river at the Parliament building in Pest.

Snow in the Pacific Northwest

Snow Day today, which means there's no work due to the weather. I was tempted to stay inside and stay warm, but bundled up and ventured out for a walk with my Canon G-10. Here are two pictures I captured late morning.
