The End.....

Well, it's finally here, the end of my trip. Haven't updated the blog as much as I'd hope, but I still managed to use it :)


The last set of pictures have been upload to http://picasaweb.google.com/derek.hecht

and I'm uploading the last of the movies to www.youtube.com/derekhecht

I'm especially proud of the last photo in the 'Bookends' album.  I wasn't sure I was going to be able to find the opportunity to take such a picture :)

Ascano, Switzerland
Milan, Italy
Gruyere, Swizterland
Frog Museum in Estavayer-Le-Lac, Switzerland

My friend Cindy came to visit for a week (she's flying back today) and we went to Milan over the weekend.  Unfortunately, it was in the mid-90's and very humid so it wasn't the most comfortable weather to walk around in, but it was Milan.  Got to see the Duomo, and went to one of the castles in the area.  Also got to see a bunch of Ferrari's that were there for a convention at the hotel we were staying at.  On the way back stopped off in Ascano (switzerland) which is in the italian speaking area.  You would swear that you were on the Mediterranean. Beautiful little city with classic italian design and color. They even had a Jazz festival when we stopped by.  Monday it was the Frog Museum in Estavayer and yesterday it was off to Gruyere (where they make the cheese).

Cindy is flying back today, so I'm back to being by myself for the next 5 days and then I'm home!!!
