Snapshots of My Life

Just remembering some of my favorite places from the stories of my travels. These pictures are from the internet, not the ones taken by me all those years ago — we didn’t have digital cameras or smartphones (or any cell phones) back then. And we survived without them. I do have actual snapshots in albums, though, and — like real books — they’re much more fun to curl up with than a phone or an iPad. Old-fashioned, maybe . . . but somehow comforting. Still, there is much to be said for sharing, so here are some of my favorites, in no particular order.
