Golden Arch

Golden, Colorado, USA
Golden greeted us with a warm welcome, but we still needed winter coats.  Golden was a cute town where he had fun shopping in quaint shops, walking down the main drag, and staying and dining at the cute Table Mountain Inn.

Too Hot to Pick

Light Bulb, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
This orange bulb resembleas a shiny fruit.  We took this on the patio of a favorite restaurant last summer.  On some days, it's still warm enough to eat outside, but it won't be for long.

Can You Hear Winthrop Sing?

Priority Mail Box, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
In the Music Man, little Winthrop and the whole town sang excitedly about the Wells Fargo Wagon bringing packages from far away.  The mail now comes in a blue truck, but it's still exciting to get a big package, even when it's just water filters for the kitchen sink.

Sweet, Shiny, and Delicious

Krispy Kreme Doughuts, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Krispy Kreme doughnuts are a Southern delight.  Hot and fresh Krispy Kreme's smell so good and it is exciting to see the doughnuts being fried and glazed right before arriving in our box!  These are so delicious that you can't stop at just one.
 
We once brought a dozen with us on an El Al flight to Israel for a friend.  It's a good thing our Krispy Kreme store is certified Kosher!  Our friend was so excited that he invited his whole family over to delight in these American doughnuts!

Strength and Beauty

Eiffel Tower,  Paris, France
This exquisite structure is a triumph of architecture and good taste.  We loved seeing it from afar and up close.  Seeing it lit up by the late summer sun and then ascending it at dusk was a treat.  The tower is simply beautiful and worth visiting.

Groovy

Mushroom, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
We found this mushroom just growing in wood chips and fallen leaves.  If we ate it, perhaps the world would look as distorted and curvy as it does!

A Colorful Buffet

Hotel Breakfast, Eilat, Israel
When we travel, we like to indulge in the local foods.  Like the USA, Israel is a melting pot of many different cultures and cuisines.  This breakfast was a small sampling of the offerings at the Dan Panorama's breakfast smörgåsbord.  It was all delicious!
