Travel Tips

We used to go downtown a lot to take in the riverfront attractions as well as the Arch. St. Louis city area is really a nice place to be, and activities abound.

Micky picks out the best presents/gifts and always surprises with something she knows I need. I wish I had that trait.

Scary things did not normally bother Becky, so maybe she was faking this? Her aunt and Uncle form Marietta are the strong supporteers of Becky for years, and treat her almost like their own daughter.

This was taken at the Pearl Harbor Memorial for the Arizona and other ships sunk. It really had an impact and all Americans should see this type of memorial to know why they get to do the free things they can do daily they way they want to.

This was taken in SAn Gimignano in 2005. It really depicts the wonderful smiles of both of us.

Both of us seek out sites to take and remember upon return; if we can only remember which town or country we were in at the time.
