Today is a special post as it is my beautiful wife's birthday. I want to thank her publicly for all of her support over the years, especially with putting up with my photography addiction. I can't tell you how many times she has waited patiently for me to perfect "the shot". In recent years, she has encouraged me to travel for a number of photography tours. The other reason that this post is special is that I want to thank her for proofreading all of my 500+ blog posts. That is right, I can't string two sentences together without her help. I asked her to pick out one of her favorite photos for today's post and actually write the rest of this post (after correcting this introductory paragraph). So without any further ado...
Hi everyone! When Len asked me to choose a photo to be posted today, I knew that many of my favorite photos were from our trips to Europe. This picture was taken on our first river cruise sailing the Rhine River, and is from the beautiful city of Strasbourg, France. We had a wonderful time sailing down the Rhine with good friends, visiting one old beautiful city after another. I was especially taken with Strasbourg, from the picturesque canals to the lovely buildings. Of course, you can't visit France without sampling the wonderful local cuisine, and we all enjoyed a dish called tarte flambee (a thin bread dough covered with creme fraiche, thinly sliced caramelized onions and bacon), as well as the wonderful French pastries. Good friends, good food and good memories. (I hadn't realized how hard it is to write a blog--think I'll go back to proofreading!)
