Judy & Wayne At Play

In the Golan Heights area of Israel, during our visit to the Holy Land in March 2011. Judy on a back street in town, just happens to be Florence, Italy. Judy getting a few directions in an old gold mining town. Oatman-near Bullhead City, Arizona. We traveled along the historic US Route 66, out of both Oatman and Williams, Arizona. These towns are homes to, the wild mules coming out of the mountains and into town, and the old west 'Shootem Up' train ride up to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Hey the Chef cookin up a good time after a tournament down home in Arizona. Wayne at the grill in 2010. Judy and her friend Donna shown here with the 'naked cowboy' in Times Square NYC - 2009.

Places We've Been, Things We've Done


We visited the beautiful Oregon Coast during the summer of 2010 (5th Anniversary getaway). This picture was taken at a viewpoint above Manzanita.


Everyone needs to visit Oatman, Arizona. That's where the mules come down from the hills and visit the center of the old town. Yes, wild animals trying to socialize with us tame folks-Fun !


Wow was it ever hot here. This is a city park in the port city, in the Dominion Republic CA, 2008.

A street scene from Bogota, Columbia SA. Early in the summer of 2008.


While visiting Alaska in the summer of 2006, we had the opportunity to take this train ride out of Ketchikan up into the mountains and saw a very little of the Yukon Territory.


These two pictures were taken while visiting a Spanish Mission built in the 1600's. We visited it in El Paso, Texas in late April 2009.





This photo of the Steins Mercantile was taken during a 2009 trip into Steins, New Mexico. This and the next six photos are taken in the ghost town along highway 10 in the SW corner of the state.


On old wagon in front of one of the towns stately houses.


This snag was out near the railroad tracts.

Photoed here is some of the 'older' transports.

The sign announcing our arrival in Steins, New Mexico. This ghost town is now privately owned. It had several 'no tres' signed posted around.


An old mud and brick building most of which is long gone.

An outer building, at least it wasn't leaning yet......


Watched this artist painting his building canvas on a city street in Pullman, Washington. Our visit there in the fall of 2009.



We visited an ancient baptismal site in these ruins in Turkey during our 2007 visit there.



These ruins we visited were also in Turkey, one of our stops during our cruise in 2007.
