I am back.
The trip was good, successful both from a professional sense of meeting people and learning things and a personal level of getting to see more places that I have not been. I am bit tired still and sincerely wondering which day it is and which continent I am on - in the 22 days I have been on three of them - but a couple days of sleeping in my own bed have worked wonders.
I have even more travel material as grist for the mill (I will be writing of travel forever, it seems), but below are a few snapshots of places I went.
In Basel, looking East towards Switzerland
The Rhine
Roman Theater - Augusta Raurica (Kaiseraugust, Switzerland)
Temple - Augusta Raurica (Kaiseraugust, Switzerland)
St. Elizabeth's Church - Basel, Switzerland
Basel Town Hall - Built 1508-1521
Fountain - Basel, Switzerland
Basel Münster - Built 1091-1500
Stained glass window - Basel Münster
Butter Pretzel (It was delicious!)
Countryside - Bavaria
Interesting photos from a different part of the world, just had to include one food item eh TB? Now it's time to start breakfast since the stomach started growling. That stained glass window is stunning.
ReplyDeleteNylon12 - While I tried to be reasonable on the whole for my spending, I have to confess I had of one the best breakfast spreads I have ever seen during my trip (Pretzels! For breakfast! The wonder!).
DeleteBasel Munster was an amazing church.
When the word TRAVEL is written, your posts contain many images and descriptions of experiences felt. Thank you for your effort of putting them to words for the rest of us to experience.
ReplyDeleteAnon - You are so welcome! I have to admit it is a great joy to be able to share them, and I would be lying if I did not say that the thought of writing about where I have been permeates my thoughts where I go. I likely take a great many more pictures than I used to in hopes that they will be of use in posts.
DeleteVery pretty area. I thought that would be neat place to visit. Thanks for bringing some of it back.
ReplyDeleteMy people left the region of southern Germany (Baden-Wurttemburg) for the soon to be US in the early 1700's.
STxAR - It has been some years since I have been to either Switzerland or Germany (mostly Bavaria). I had forgotten how beautiful such places are.
DeleteAs my employer is located in these regions, my hope is to get back there a bit more often.
