Ok...here goes yet another effort to post pictures. With Beth's technical assistance I think that the problem may be resolved.

Eureka! Success. The problem was that I was trying to post high resolution photos and the file was too large. I bought a new camera to take photos with more pixels (those little Tinkerbelle creatures) for the travel book I am working on. Trying to post those photos wasn't working so Beth did some technical stuff and it worked. Solution: use two cameras. One for blog posting and one for the book project. I can't be bothered with that technical crap!!!

Next up, the long awaited Daytrip to the Gargano Peninsula. After that, a trip to London! Yep, we have a three day weekend coming up and we will head to London. That will be a full-blown turista effort...intense unrelenting schedule of getting to all the biggies: Piccadilly Circus, Traflagar Square, Harrods, St Pauls, Buckingham Palace, Westminister, Tower of London, Hyde park, etc. etc. Actually, I've aready seen these places, Beth hasn't. Wonder if I can score a visit with the Queen Mum? I've always wanted to ask her, "Oy, why didn'ja you ever think of getting the Prince of Wales ears bobbed, man he has got some flappers, eh?" Maybe she'll invite us for some tea. Now that would be a photo op!.

Photos

Chevys on display
Chevrolet was in town displaying some of their new cars. Don't know if any of those models are available in USA.

In front of the castle
It was a beautiful day to visit a castle.

The oven
This was in the castle kitchen and was enormous...the photo doesn't show that.

Big fireplaces
Living in a castle sounds romantic...the reality is that they are big cold and damp.

Trying out the throne
Ok...this is hard on my bony butt.

The waiting area
We were the only turistas wandering around the castle at this time.

I found your throne
Beth being helpful when nature calls.

The royal throne
I always wondered where the loo was located in castles!

Whew...relief
Well, you can close down that wing of the castle...heh heh heh

I want this job
The guy that hands out the tickets to visit the castle...working hard.

Side entrance
to the castle...look at the size of that knocker!!

The Twilight Zone
Small town Italy between 2 - 6PM. I kept waiting for Rod Serling to pop out.

Aren't you lucky!
Lucky you that Beth is a technical gooroo! Way to go Beth! To get together with Queen Elizabeth, didn't you hear that she will be visiting the White House sometime really soon? You are too late! By the way, how is the weather? It hit 80 today in Boise and Nampa. beautiful, blue skies and wonderful sunshine; we are all getting ready for BBQ weather, but hopefully we will NOT have what you have had the pleasure of eating!
