Finally

I am so sorry for the delay in putting up the remainder of pictures... as some of you know I was sick at the end of the trip and that in itself has been a trip :)

I can not explain the feeling of being there in person. It is something I will never forget. A special thanks to my cousin in TnT for the hook-up. Believe me cuz I am a world cup junkie now, so no worries we are going to South Africa in four years - bet on it!!!

The people were wonderful the culture was unbelievable... I will never be the same person. Life has new meaning.

As well to my traveling crew - Thank you. Kinda bumpy at times and cramped to say the least, but we made it (who says a Renault can't travel at 200 km/h on the autobahn). See you by the bulldog in 5 years.

So that's about it... I think I will continue to blog - showing my view of the beauty of the world through normal eyes. I was walking downtown Ottawa yesterday and thought wouldn't it be cool to trek through the city and take pictures as if I were a tourist... and so begins a new journey.

Ps thanks to my family for supporting the dream, especially a truly spectacular wife.

Hitler's last stand - one of the last buildings he was constructing before leaving his position in politics



























I think the city was called Wurzburg - the center is almost all round-a-bouts
