Planes, Trains & Automobiles

View from the Air France lounge in Charles De Gaulle Airport Terminal 2E-L Gates...

...just got back from a 10 day vacation in Sierra Leone.

Pics to come soon.

Updated

With the Amsterdam pictures up, I've managed to finish uploading all the galleries from our Rhine Cruise.

And I've also updated my travel and UNESCO galleries accordingly.

Enjoy.

Strasbourg

Strasbourg, France is the home of the EU parliament and a bunch of other boring things.
But it also has a spectacular old town situated on their Grande Ile, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
On their Grande Ile is a spectacular Gothic cathedral.

Which had a nice Christmas market at its steps.
And which has one less tower than I figure they were planning on having.
And is decorated with sculptures that a regular schmoe wouldn't expect to see on a church.
Crusifixions, beasts and demons, oh my.
Check it out.

Colmar France is a quaint Alsatian town not far from the Rhine river. 

Its also the home of the dude that created the Statue of Liberty. 

Seriously. 

Images of Colmar have been added to the galleries. 

Return to Paris

On the way to Finland we stopped over in Paris.
This was my second time in the city and I played more tour guide than tourist.
The city was bright and sunny...and busy and full of tourists.
Check out the gallery here

Versailles

A stopover in France on the way to Finland enabled a visit to the Palace of Versailles.

Images are Up

Ah, a weekend to relax, breath...
...and update the galleries.
The images from my West Africa trip are up.
And I've expanded and updated the rest of my galleries.
Check them out.
