On the little island of Aeroskobing in Denmark…
…or above the clouds high up in the mountains of Switzerland.
At sea level in Iceland…
….or at the foot of a Norman castle in Ireland.
In the shadow of Cesky Krumlov Castle in the Czech Republic…
…or on the shore of a fjiord in Norway.
Beneath an ancient Roman aquaduct in Spain…
øn a little cobbled street in Dorset…
Or deep in the Amazon jungle…
Each place has its own unique story and history…
Tastes…
Traditions…
And characters…
All so different and yet so familiar.
Almost like family.

I love the joyful variety you always put in your posts, Naomi! And thanks for the Switzerland photo….my brother just returned from Zermatt, but I haven’t seen any of his photos yet. This helps me picture him and the cows (you can never have too much cow bell!) hiking in solitude and missing our Dad…his most meaningful moment of the trip.

Thank you, Scilla. I understand what you are saying about your brother and your dad. There are certain places, like the Tetons, where I cannot help but relive many happy memories and feel my mother’s presence.
