It's hard to put into words what it was like visiting both Austwhich and Auschwitz-Birkenau today. This is a bit of a long post but it is as much for me to capture the experience. We decided to take a tour to the camp and am glad we did. We had door to door bus service and a smallish group. It is very busy at Auschwitz and everyone has to have a guides tour anyway.

Goodbye UK! We finished up our day at Edinburgh Castle and at the top of Captiol Hill. We both have left really loving Scotland and only feeling like we got a VERY small taste of what it has to offer. Yes I did try haggis.

I photographed the entire thing and we lucked out by having beautiful blue sky which will make the pics pop against the impossible lush colored green. The la...

Ghost Tour So I LOVE doing ghost tours in different cities and have done a bunch. Now I don't believe or not believe in Ghosts but when you do a 'ghost tour' the historic stories you hear are just more interesting. Usually you hear all about some important or story worthy person and then they die in some interesting way and now they are ghosts and haunt the place... Cool right? I figured in a town discovered in the 1300's there has to be some cool stories. Well ...
