I love threads with photos from different countries!! I'll have to back up later and read the posts a bit slower , gardening beckons right now. I think I'll throw up a few photos from time to time from some of our explorations over the years.
Some highlights from Idaho last Sept., my daughter lives 45 minutes from Grand Teton and Yellowstone so we went 4 days in a row.
And on our way to Canada from Idaho, we stopped in the little Barvarian style town of Leavenwoth, Washington. I felt like I was in Germany again! The building styles, the aroma of German food, the music too, it made me emotional. Lots of gorgeous container plants everywhere too. I plan a return trip with my German Mom, she's too old to travel to Germany again so this will be the next best thing. A quick flight north, rent a car and explore for a couple of days, eating German food and taking in the sights and sounds and we should be transported once again.
