The Rocky Mountains are Amazing :) Hi. I can't understand the language, but it looks like you had a wonderful trip to Rocky Mountain National Park :) I'm from Denver, and have spent many a great day in Estes Park and Grand Lake (the two parts that make up Rocky Mountain National Park). Great photos. Looks like everyone enjoyed the trip. There's so much good hiking in Colorado and the Rockies, and you guys definitely found one of the best spots. Cheers!
Greetings fellow traveller It was a pleasure to meet you and to travel with you both in Vietnam and Hong Kong. Our experience of Vietnam was truly enhanced by sharing our time there with you. Through google translate I was able to read some of your Vietnamese language comments about your travels. It is generous of you to take the time to share the knowledge you gained from your travels with others. We are honored to be part of your journal. I take the lesson from your blog that the old tome that a picture is worth a thousand words, misses the fact that a picture alone cannot convey the smells sounds and feelings that visiting a new place evokes in a traveller, we need additional words.
I hope our paths cross again somewhere in world. Harold
Yes, Dave. I am so sorry to respond late because I did not check my Blog comments often. Yes. It is Goree island, Senegal, Africa, where the slaves were shipped out Africa without return., That why it is called " Door without return" and is a special place on earth that why 3 U.S. Presidents were there. I recommend to go, Dave. 12-7-2020 Dat
This was a fashion show in Senegal and was organized by local company. Some good places to see in Senegal are a salt lake 30 miles from Dakar, Goree Island, local market...
