Weeeeee're Hooooooooooooome!!!



Hello hello everyone! We just returned home late last night from our absolutely incredible whirlwind trip through Europe and I wanted to let you know that I will be busy answering all of your calls and emails over the next few days. Thank you thank you to everyone who left so many nice messages, comments, and notes while we were gone!! It was fun (and a tiny bit overwhelming!) to open up my email this morning to SOOOOO many messages -- I'm going to do my best to return them all as quickly as possible.

Thought I'd post a few quickie shots from the trip for you all to enjoy while I'm busy typing and dialing. :) I'll try to post more in a few days, and of course, some shots from Patricia and Mike's wedding in Oberammergau, Germany!

First, St. Basil's in Red Square all lit up like a little postcard.....




Some mid-day sunshine in the Kremlin in Izmailovo (on the outskirts of Moscow).




A shot from inside the monastery at Sergeiv Posad, about an hour and a half outside of Moscow:




I have to send out a huge thanks to our fantastic private guide and driver in Moscow - Arthur Lookyanov. If you ever find yourself on your way to Moscow, you should definitely give Arthur a call. He's a great guy, incredibly knowledgeable, fun to tour with, AND (surprise, surprise) he loves photography. We got along very well. :) In addition to running all over Moscow with Jed and me, Arthur hooked us up with awesome 3rd row seats to the Moscow circus, and special photography passes so I could shoot all over Moscow. What more can you ask for?

The round tower in Copenhagen, Denmark, shot about 30 seconds before it started pouring:




Of course we couldn't take a trip somewhere without stopping to check out the local fire stations..... (Jed's a firefighter, and he's a little obsessed.) This time we weazled our way into a crazy ride on Esbjerg's 90 meter ladder! It was a windy day so we were only able to go up a third of the way, but it was still frighteningly high....




Fire hoses hanging out to dry in the tower....




And a little scenery from our hike in Oberammergau, Germany.....




More shots to come! p.s. Thanks to all my loyal Euro-stalkers! It seems the Jauntlet map was a big hit!
