Chilly January

Zürich has been quite cold and cloudy since the new year began. The temperatures have stayed below freezing, leaving a bit of snow on the ground. The cold temps have also made the fountain in front of the main train station look magnificient. I was out shopping yesterday and saw it and decided we had to go back today with the camera to take some photos. Enjoy!!











Christmas in OK

We had a great time in Oklahoma this year. Doc finally experienced a classic weather swing. There was a record cold and high temperature in the week that we were in town. We also had a chance to enjoy the Tex-Mex and BBQ food that we miss.

This year I also finally got my act together and did a bit more pre-planning than usual. We were so happy to meet up with friends, but kept forgetting our camera! We finally remembered it on our last day in town.

St. Maarten and St. Martin

St. Maarten was my favorite stop on the cruise. I thought the island was gorgeous. We went on an island tour that included both the Dutch and French sides and stopped at a beach as well.
