photos
I actually have digital photos from some of our travels around France, India, Australia, and other places that I will sort through eventually and make available here... but I'm realizing that it's actually fairly tedious to look through everything and pick out a good sampling!  So far, anyway, there are only photos here from our May 2005 trip to The Netherlands and Eastern Europe.
spring 2005
We were traveling for more than a month, so there are tons of photos; I'm posting only a fraction of them in a few different albums:
  • The Netherlands and Prague: We spent about a week in Eindhoven, visiting Jody, Sylvie, and our new niece Coralie Katia (website) with daytrips to Rotterdam and Amsterdam to see friends.  Then we flew to Prague (Czech Republic)
  • Vienna and Budapest: We explored Vienna for a few days (and met up with a friend), then moved on to Budapest, where we stayed with sister-in-law Diana.  Thank you Diana!
  • Slovenia: We stayed in Ljubljana and took daytrips to Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj.
  • Croatia: We travelled down the Dalmatian coast and visited various islands, ending in Dubrovnik. We stayed mostly in private homes, because most hotels were destroyed or went out of business during Croatia's war for independence in the 90's.
  • Istanbul: Our friend Joanna let us crash in her apartment, and showed us around this amazing city.
