I always get such enjoyment from everyone else's pictures they post, I thought perhaps some of you might like some from our trip last summer.It was as close to a perfect journey as we'll experience in our lifetime, I'm sure. Weather, people, sights, experiences were all just almost perfect.  I did a search, and didn't find that I'd put these up previously.........my memory isn't all it could be most days. I do apologize if I missed a previous post I did with these.....just close the thread if you've seen them before.  :~)
