Being a person of impeccable moral fortitude, nothing could have convinced me to sully my wife's and daughter's psyche with a visit to Amsterdam's Red Light district.

There were times when a very very very rich pope would find a need for a little extra protection from very large armies who have heard about his very large pile of gold.

You should have seen the size of the chests inside of the treasure room.

#4 War Zone
#5 Urinoir
#6 Dutch Transportation
#7 The Roman Forum
#8 Ruins of the Quebec city Armoury
#9 You two are going back to Hawaii
#10 Marcus Aurelius

While this last trimester was notable for visits to Rome, Amsterdam, New York and Quebec City, it will certainly be remembered for my acquisition of Photomatix Pro which finally allowed me to produce decent HDR images.

My favorite painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art shows Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794) along with his Wife Marie-Anne-Pierrette Paulze (1758–1836). Lavoisier, who is known as the father of modern chemistry, is famous for his discovery of oxygen. If it wasn't for him, we'd all suffocate.
