I didn't get back to the USA in time to jeer at this on the big screen.
I shall however, post a travel log at a later date.
Brief
Visited Museums in Lithuania, Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. (The ones in Austria were closed for a papal visit or flooded).
Visited re-enactment/festivals at "Archeon, Netherlands" and "Vidi, Vini" Switzerland.
Saw Castles, cathedrals and Romans sites along the way.
Spent too much money, drank almost enough wine, smoked cuban cigars, and ate local cuisine in 8 countries, and didn't get to the museum in Bonn when it was open. Who lives near there? I'll pay or trade for photos of the current Roman War and Peace exhibit there, especially military equipments, statues hair styles, footwear, wagons and horse equipment, and pottery.
I took a bunch of photos, but the focus was not always spot on, so I'll only have 2000 or so to share.
Highlight of the trip?
My birthday in Pompeii, eating ripe figs from a tree and having lunch on the forum, next to Vespasian's temple. Then excellent Cuban cigars, a wonderful sweet wine, and a party with the staff at my favorite local restaurant.
Low points
Pouring rain in Rome and rain and floods? in Vienna.
Oh well, next time.....
be well (and obey the rules for posting!)
