During our 19 year life in Germany we managed to travel extensively


During our 19 years abroad, we traveled extensively. Places like Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, France, Italy, Holland, Poland, Austria, Spain and Germany. The following photos are some highlights of our travels. All photos were taken with a Minolta 9000 by Linda, Anja or I. If you are viewing with a dialup modem, some of the pictures may download slow, however, they will be cached and the next time you hit this site they will appear much faster.

	Brian, Linda and Anja with the Matterhorn peeking out of the clouds behind them. During our travels we frequently walked in the mountains. This day we chose to walk down the Gornergrat. We took a train to the top and began a six hours walk down to Zermatt. We took periodic breaks in the mountain huts for meals and drinks.

Linda with the Parthenon in the background. That's Roger, one of our travel group, in the left of the picture. Linda and I traveled with a group of friends to Greece every spring. On this trip we stopped over in Athens for a couple of days before continuing to Mykonos.

	Linda and I traveled to the Greek islands every spring for eight years. The winters in Germany were cold and it was nice to fly south to the warm Aegean Sea. We usually took in two islands per trip but always returned to Mykonos. We loved our Plati Galos beach. We would stay at the Hotel Acrogali, which was on the beach at Plati Galos. In Santorini we had a hotel on the cliffs over looking the volcano dome. That's me in the picture on the left in the town of Oia, on the Island of Santorini. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful of the Greek Islands. Great scenery but the beaches in Mykonos are the best.

Here are the Greek travelers. These are the friends we traveled to Greece with (The Greek Island Jetset). In the picture from left to right is Linda waving, then Janet, Roger, and Pauline. Great group to travel with. Lots of laughs.
