Never got to make to Greece when I was stationed in Germany, maybe someday when the kids are out the house. Like in my first post the leaves are starting to change here and if I have the time next week, i'll do some hiking up a mountain and take a pic of two :)


Same here. Although, I come from Athens, right now I am stationed in Edessa, at the northern part of Greece, Macedonia. I 'll also have to take some photos someday.

lol, I'm a long way from the peaks where the snow falls. The last few years where I live, we've been lucky to have a day or two of snow! Bah!

You're from Holland? I hear there are a lot of top notch kick boxers out there. I also heard something about drugs being legal, kinda like Amsterdam? Always wondered how places with no drug laws do with crime...Oh, also heard that, on average, Holland has the tallest people in the world.

I stay in a little village in Scotland called Crosslee, which is next door to the original Houston, no not the American one, the actual first Houston. Here is some pics, a bit different to Houston America would you say?

Hey do you know how much petrol (gas) costs here? Over £1.00 a litre, you work it out in your own money, what would you drive? That's why most of the cars here are small and a bit crap. :lol: As for the pic, if you mean the red car its a Volkswagen Polo, the one behind that is a Renault Cleo, both of them will have engines of around 1000cc. Yes not very fancy or fast but economical. As I said a bit different to Houston USA :D

Southern California. I love the weather, but not too fond of the people. I'm looking to leave soon.

Great pics Geraldine, in that second pic reminds me of Germany when I was stationed there. Never was able to make it to Scotland in my time in Europe. Hope I can save enough money back so when I finally retire I can see some countries I haven't seen.Yeah when I was in Germany the price for gas was 1.34DM or Euro now per liter and if you put that in dollars that's right about $5 a gallon :shock:

Sweden here.I like the weather, in spring and summer that is.I hate it when fall and winter comes...brrr.Quite a nice little country.Seems to be going down the drain nowadays though,what with all the mass-monitoring and surveillance on the general public.Still, not as bad as the UK, yet.

Well, I hail from southeastern Wisconsin, USA. Born and raised. I have traveled some, was stationed southern Cal, but as you can see I came back. It is rather nice here, with the north woods and rolling hills. It does get cold here, but not too cold, no -40 degrees that I remember, anyway!

Ahhh, the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco will always be home (Clayton St. I miss YOU :D ).But I've been north in Seattle Washington for 9 years-I'm always humbled by the size of Mt. Rainier which is 85 miles\136.79424 km distant. This is our first year without snow in 9 years :shock: ... so far.

That is quite high Peak. It looks like Trinidad is a tourist spot, i'm surprised with all the crime because usually countries crack down on crime so it doesn't effect the tourist money coming in. Some of the pics I saw are beautiful. Do you think the countyry is over populated for it's size?
