Welcome to my blog highlighting Travel in my Backyard and around the World- and famous Art through the Ages as it relates to our lives during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2022 – & Beyond!
Szentendre was a fun surprise to our itinerary on a day trip out of Budapest, Hungary. This “Artist’s Village” had ambiance and the atmosphere for most tastes in dining or shopping.
The Melk Abbey just west of Vienna Austria is a magnificent Baroque monastery. The yellow and white castle is perched high atop a cliff overlooking the Danube River. In this blog I share our visit in May 2025 on our Viking Grand European Cruise.
Cologne, Germany, was one of the stops on our Viking Grand European River Cruise. A walk-able city on the Rhine River, it is steeped in Roman and Medieval history. Its grand Cathedral was the highlight of my tour, along with the local Kölsch beer! Enjoy my photos and blog!
Schonbrunn Palace, Vienna, Austria is a spectacular palace and gardens similar to Versailles, France. Visitors not only experience its grandeur, but get a glimpse into the lives of the infamous Habsburg family and the fascinating empress, Maria Theresa! Sharing my experience in this blog allowed me to enjoy this experience to a deeper level.

My academic and life experiences have resulted in the person I am today; a very well-rounded and diverse individual. With a passion for the study of art through history, and a view of the world through the lens of an art educator and designer, I consider the world my classroom, sharing my discoveries with students of all ages.
