| One of the most exciting trips I made |
| was the motorcycle ride to New England. I started on the Parkway in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, went north through Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and ended in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The total mileage of this trip exceeded 3500. |

| Another interesting thing I like to combine with traveling is visiting old historical buildings. In Europe, especially in Germany, you will find a great variety of old castles and churches. If those ancient walls could only talk . . . |
 |
| Here you see the Neu Schwanstein Castle in the Bavarian Alps in Germany. In the nineteenth century King Ludwig II lived here and ruled Bavaria. |

| Whenever I go traveling, I combine it with my other hobby, photography. Taking pictures of places or people is an interesting thing to do. The best pictures, especially of people, are the unexpected ones. Sometimes a snapshot can say a thousand words. Flowers and plants can bring a nice formation and color variation to paper, while wild life is fun to discover. |
