Here are some from the Europe trip six months ago that we’ve just recently gotten to downloading off Donald’s camera.<\/p>\n

P.S. — If by some weird chance anybody wants a higher-res version of one or more of these, I have them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At Dulles in D.C. just before the colossal failure of my paperwork organizational system at the check-in desk. Heh.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our view from the hotel window in London. The big white building behind the red building, about two blocks away, is Paddington Station, where we arrived from the airport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another photo of the street. I’ve no idea what’s up with the shirtless guy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your very jetlagged scribe waiting for lunch. And a nice Porsche 944.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Newsstand advertising the best-edited newspaper in the world, the International Herald-Tribune.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hotel window view near dusk. We headed out to a pub shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Paris. Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur cathedral, atop the hill in Montmartre.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Looking the other way at the nice tourists and the view of Paris.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dutch angle shot of Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur. Ominous, no?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the restaurant possibilities we considered that evening, “La Maison Rose.” Still in Montmartre.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I really like this one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Playground. What healthy kids do when there’s no TV or video games around. Amazing, eh?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Le Chat Noir,” a brasserie<\/i> in the red light district.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Elysium herself in the square in Montmartre, pre-dinner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Much later, in Stuttgart at the Mercedes-Benz museum during our “guy day.” Aaron’s standing next to a ’55 300SL Gullwing, worth about $1M. No foolin’.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Switzerland. Near Interlaken, on the road to Lauterbrunnen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Lauterbrunnen. Just part of the view up the mountains from the hostel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next day. Hiking up one side of the valley, this is the view directly across from about halfway up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More of the same.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Como, Italy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s a big cell phone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Private garden in Como.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The waterfront. The bay area on that end of the lake is shaped like a crescent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nice, France. The view of the Var (river) valley from “our” villa.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Patio + table.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The beach, looking eastward up the coast towards Nice. The buildings are condominiums.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another view of the villa patio.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The villa itself and our trusty car.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A canopy on the Promenade des Anglais<\/i> in Nice (long, sweeping boulevard that runs next to the sea).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I took this one by setting the camera down on the stone wall at the edge of the villa patio. It’s the view across the valley and the piedmont of the Alps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
