Budapest from Above

The best view in Budapest, Hungary has to be from the Four Season's hotel. Looking out over the Chain Bridge and the Danube River you get a real feel of how this city is set up. Budapest still has a bit of the Iron Curtain feel but is still a nice place to visit.

South Shore Iceland

We drove a crushed lava road for 2 hours on the south shore of Iceland and we came upon this very small and remote home. An ocean front view and a lot of peace and quiet!!

Tallest Buildings in the World

Looking up from the base of the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia you really feel how small you are. Personally I feel that the now deceased World Trade Center Towers looked taller than these.

San Juan's Defense


Looking at the wall of the Old San Juan fort you see why it was a great defense to attackers though the years. From it's jagged rock cliffs to the straight up wall it was impenetrable to conquerors.

Berlin's Memory

When walking near the only still standing portion of the Berlin Wall you think about the people that were barricaded behind it for years. You think about how being encapsulated in a small area doing the same thing everyday could beat down your livelihood. This stretch of wall has been transformed into an outside gallery to walk and enjoy.

Buenos Aires

Probably the best view that I have ever had from a hotel room was in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We stayed at the Four Seasons and when we opened our curtains this was the view that we found. Buenos Aires is the most European city I've ever been to outside of mainland Europe.

Austrian Mountains

From a high mountain pass in North West Austria this view of a run down shack and the daunting Alps in the background is something that can't be captured through a picture. After seeing some of the most famous mountain ranges, I feel that the Alps are the most beautiful in the world.
