Fun watching the views in Paris | view from my window in Paris |
It is so amazing venturing around the streets of small or large
storefronts and checking out what they are selling in there.
If it is food ,then maybe it is worth going into see. |
| lake in Lucerne Switzerland |
|  | a little colder than I am use to A peaceful place to walk and enjoy and to find a bench to sit on and take in the beauty of the scenery of Lucerne Switzerland. |
Memories of the past It is so great to see the past not destroyed and preserved so we can still enjoy it. | | | small beautiful streets of Spain |

| | Very peaceful memory A great thing to be reminded about |
A Great pose He is just resting before his next appoinment During the eight centuries of the Spanish War of the Reconquest (711-1492 A.D.), the knights, Moors and Christians, weary of killing one another, would occasionally allow themselves a respite; but in order to avoid boredom, and also to release their pugnacious instincts, they would compete in hunting wild-life existing in the Iberian lands. Deer and other equally docile animals were easy prey, and while a cornered bear or boar would occasionally put up a fight, it was never a challenge for such valiant knights. However, the scenario changed every time they faced the Iberian bull.%C This beautiful and awe-inspiring beast, with its unique noble bravery would, when provoked, rather die fighting than flee - in essence, transforming the hunt into an avid exchange in which the bravest warriors could bring to light their courage. Perhaps a nobleman with an entrepreneurial spirit thought about capturing several of these horned beasts, taking them to the village, and recreating the thrill of the hunt so that the knights could demonstrate their skill and win the admiration of their subjects. Thus, in a remote corner of Medieval Spain, the beginning of what today is the national Spanish spectacle of bullfighting was created. | | |
| Lensburg Castle Switzerland |
| | A very big house This is a great castle to check out. I remember the day I went to take pictures, the children from the town below were acting out and dressed up as though they were from the King's court. Also they played games in the same way as those in the past. It is a big castle!! |
Majestic The Matahorn is as though it shouts
to those that look at it, saying: " Come climb me,if you can???" | | | The Matahorn / Alps/ Switzerland |

| | Back to Honolulu Beautiful decorations at Christmas Time. It is great watching when they light the downtown stores for Chrismas. |

Could you give me some tips for HNL? Monday we are flying to HNL and staying overnight at port in HNL on cruise ship which leaves late Tue. We don't want to rent a car and are very fit athletes who like to snorkel, run long distances. Thanks, Cassandra | risse73 Sat Sep 27, 2008 08:20 UTC
