Pictures

I walked by Parliament and Westminster Abbey this morning on my way to my last London meeting. I walked by dozens of people taking pictures. I wonder two things...

1. How many times has Parliament and the famous clock been photographed? There is no way to know for sure, but that number might be even larger than US's debt.

2. Why do people continue to photograph famous buildings when it is so easy to download pictures from the internet? Do they need to prove they were really there?

Since I don't own a proper camera I download lots of pictures from the internet - especially for this blog. I know I was there!

Where are my pictures

I don't own a camera. My mobile phone has a decent camera, but is is mostly good for emailing pics to my friends....not so much for trying to get pictures on my blog.

Sometimes I borrow a camera, so I do have pictures of some vacations. They are currently posted here:

I might make the move to Flickr, but for now they are on Webshots.

Mediterranean Cruise - October 2006

My first cruise ever! And I loved it. I vow every year to go on another cruise, but so far haven't been able to work it into the schedule.

I won't be going into tons of detail, but wanted to document places I visited during this trip that are featured on "the book."

Athens
This was where we embarked on the cruise, but we arrived a day early to see some of the sights. We should have spent more time here.

The Acropolis - it was a beautiful, clear morning and I could see for miles all around Athens.

Turkey
First port.

The Roman Ruins of Ephesus

Malta
We went scuba diving.

Rome
I loved Rome and can't wait to go back.

Forum
Trevi Fountain
Vatican City
Coliseum
Sistine Chapel - we were the last group of the day and had it to ourselves
Mount Etna - we saw lava!

Monte Carlo
Fantasy day spent where the truly rich live, work and play.

The Grand Casino - I left them 20 euros.
Hotel de Paris - beautiful lobby, very expensive

We also went to the Jacques Cousteau museum, but it isn't in the book.

Barcelona
Museu Picasso - we nearly got kicked out because DH was taking unauthorized pictures.

Lisbon
This was the port where we disembarked. It was a national holiday and many things were closed.
