It's Bucket-List Time!

Japan, but especially Kyoto, have been on my bucket-list for years. Finally the right opportunity has arisen and I will be off to Kyoto in early November. While the trip will focus on artisans and artists, there will be enough gardens to make me happy:)

We're not getting any younger so we're starting to be a bit more intentional about our travel choices, without turning down the special opportunities that may arise.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

OHRID in my dreams ...!

Beautiful Ohrid Lake

IBack from a visit to Macedonia where we visited with Niki's family. I visited Ohrid [see picture] and Belgrade. I also visited Pristina where my spouse will be teaching. I missed seeing VT-er Malecka again, but met mirjana51. See my Skopje page!

Look for my new BELGRADE page as well as updates on my
SKOPJE, OHRID & PRISTINA pages

Where it all began .. Chicago Architecture

Monadnock/Railway Exchange

The Monadnock Building displays the thick load-bearing masonery walls prevalent before the Chicago-based development of the steel-framed, concrete pier skyscraper in the late 1800s. On the right the Santa Fe Railway Exchange Building benefits from the steel frame to provide more window space and a decorated surface.
.
These pictures were taken on a recent tour I gave for some visiting friends. I am hoping to pull my architectural photos together into a tour of Chicago architecture -- one of these days:)

Sally,
I just read your Rick Steves comment on your Rome page. Right on! He has made many of my friends feel like they can do and travel lighter. He is obsessed with cost and kind of goofy in a friendly way. I think if more Americans traveled like Rick we
