Beautiful photos on Geneve.
Hi Holli! Ich hoffe, es geht dir gut! Nice page - I especially like those two first restaurant tips!! To be remembered!
tofu = gross. no matter if it is lomo based or not... loving your horticulture guide.
Sexy Rexy is actually a rose bush (developed by a a ex-pat Brit who lives in NZ, Sam McCready) It looks like the bush has died and been removed, it doesn't die down for winter.
Great photos and tips! But, instead of just taking photos of the NAMES of the flowers... why not photos of the flowers too ;))) // okay okay... i know you said the flowers hadn't grown yet... a disclaimer even!!
thats a mighty big column that was 'erected'... sigh, my mind is always filthy! this page is nice, but dont forget who the original u/c-meister is ok? ;-P
Nice job!
Cool place, not so far from where i live...may be it worth a visit....I really didn'tt expect a lighthouse there...:-)))))
Sexy Rexy and Tchin-Tchin ??
especialmente bonita foto de la fuente ....
