When I was in collage, I lived in Portland, Oregon. If you have ever been there then you know the city sits along two rivers the Columbia and the Willamette Rivers. Portland, Oregon is one of my favorite cities in the United States. It is simple gorgeous; however, because of all that water there are a lot of bridges. While I can appreciate the architectural accomplishment, bridges scare me and I have a hard time driving over them. As I approach them I say a quick prayer and hold my breath. Silly, I know, but I am terrified of getting in an accident on the bridge and plunging to my death. So now you know my little secret. Backroads are a different story and they excite me! You just never know what you are going to find around the corner. Yesterday, I was kind of missing Germany. I know that spring has come and the fields are yellow and gorgeous! I dream of someday getting lost in southern France in May when the poppy fields color the landscape with red, or in July when the lavender is in it's full glory. Maybe, I will find a small café along the roadside and I will eat a banquette and then finish off with a delicious pastry. Do you want to come?

I love the two first bridges pictures....beautiful...
You know what's funny is I hate flying over the ocean, over land I am fine, but the ocean, yikes, it scares me somewhat, (which is dumb because Glenn says that if you crash, land and water will feel the same). I just don't like being submerged into a closed space, going in a submarine would be my worst nightmare.
Thanks for your words of wisdom the other day. I am struggling trying to find a balance and really it's my own fault. I got caught up with too many (blogging) people that I need to let go. Just drop em you know. And the funny thing is I am sure they could care less.
It just got to me that I could tell some people are not that sincere and I just don't have time for that. Honestly there are about 7 people I have met through blogging I feel I have made a connection with. I just don't have time for people, and things, that don't hold meaning for me, I have too much to do.
You are sweet and kind and again, thanks. And yeah I'll come along, pastry sounds good to me :)
Gorgeous bridges. I would love to see Portland, Oregon some day.
Darling photos of your children. Wonderful fields of flowers too. :>)
And I will use Otli`s word, adorable, for your travelling companions!! Their smiles and looks of wonder make me feel how children too are bridges between one generation and the next. Happy travels!!
