The Travel Journals
Hohenschwangau Castle, Germany
Welcome to my Travel Journals...

While I realize I could have very well stuck additional links under the Colorado Home Page, I felt that the Colorado travels are one thing while travels outside the state or country should get their own links and proper write-ups.  Call these the Vacation Pages or what you will... I will refer to these as the Travel Journals and so shall it be written...
Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany
I had a few opportunities now to visit Europe under the sightseeing guidance of my friend, MacMurph, who lives there.  The first trip was the Bavarian region of Munich and its surrounding areas and as if that wasn't enough, the second was to Italy's Toscany region, a first for me.  I would like to sincerely thank him for being a wonderful host in this regard for taking me to both the touristy areas in Bavaria (which indulged my visions of Bavaria) and also to all the non-touristy areas, which added more of a personal touch to the experience...

In regards to write-ups and technical information, I give credit where credit is due.  MacMurph was gracious enough to provide captions and information in regards to the photos taken in his local region  and also painstakingly organized the photos according to day trip locations in Italy.  I would also like to plug the following Frommer's Guide books...
Munich & the Bavarian Alps, 3rd Edition, Northern Italy with Venice and the Lakes, 1st Edition, and Tuscany & Umbria, 3rd Edition.  Please don't sue me... thank you...

For the record, MacMurph was my photographer for most, if not all the following photos.  Thank you again for the wonderful pictures and the opportunity to visit your beautiful country.

So without further delay, let's tour Europe!
