2018 in reverse order

Nigel's Portrait

The end of our "summer" (May-October) street rebuild. It was finished about 2 weeks before it snowed. 

Taco Cat for Halloween

Someone doesn't like his costume

We went to the Justin Timberlake concert and weren't the oldest ones there. 

Cat-asy Football - there's a spreadsheet and everything

Quick trip to Texas for me while Doug had his first weekend of call shift

A glass of prosecco to toast the end of a great trip to Italy. 

Red wine in Rome.

Trevi Fountain... did you know it is on the side of a building?

Just one of the amazing meals we enjoyed in Italy. 

A bottle of wine and a bottle of "frizzante" (bubbly water) with dinner each night

Coliseum

St Peter's Square. The pope didn't come out to greet us. 

Hiking in Cinque Terre on the coast of Italy

The least sweaty picture of all


Cinque Terre

Tuscany Bike Tour (day trip from Florence)

The famous David and one of a million selfie sticks in Florence

We were impressed by the Italian trains. 294 kilometer = 186 mph

A German and an American walk into an Irish pub in Zurich to watch Brazil play Mexico in the World Cup knock out round. What could go wrong? 

Hiking with the Grunaus
Doug and Christoph in their matching shirts. I'm sure we'll see a lot of this shirt in December and January as Christoph will be visiting us. 

Nephew Brett's graduation

AND Niece Paige's graduation

While Doug was hard at work at his conference, I took the city bus (for less than 2 dollars) to Monaco. I followed a German tour group into the famous casino to take a look around! 

Monaco

with Doug's colleague Maureen in Nice

Nice was beautiful but the weather was cold. People kept apologizing for the bad weather. I threw my umbrella away at the end of the trip because I was tired of seeing it! 

The famous beach of Nice. Not really beach weather. 


The endless winter!

Live Aqua in Cancun... our favorite place to defrost midwinter

After 7 visits to the same resort, we've made some wonderful friends. Mauricio and Chef Frank are among the best!

Iguana!

Cancun

Dessert in one of the restaurants. I think they know us here!

After

Before

Super Bowl festivities dominated the Twin Cities in January. We had a very fun and cold look around with the Bergs.

The year in Travel Books
