Travels with Paul and Grace Pitzer
We created this site so our friends, through our photographs, can enjoy the places we have visited around the world. As we continue to be able to travel, we will add to this collection of photo Galleries, Slideshows and the Blog.
Travels Curtailed for a while
Since Grace was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, 2017, we stayed home and did everything right to insure a long life and more travels. She started Grace Blog, in the menu bar, and will post for each new phase. She took this on as her summer/fall "project" and did whatever it took to have "No Regrets," Her favorite Edith Piaf aria.
New Blog post, December 28, 2017. (End of Radiation and On With Life!!!) We are now continuing our tradition of winter in Arizona and Grace is back to teaching at the Camera Club. All is Good!!! Fall Beauty and Snow In Portland
It has been fifteen years since we were in Portland during the colorful fall season. We have missed that, and have really enjoyed being here this year. That is one very positive outcome of having to stay home for medical reasons. I have not needed to venture far as the beauty is all around us. Then there was snow and ice over Christmas. Some plans got modified, but everything worked out well.
Recent Trips
March 27 - April 10, 2017 we had the privileged of being able to repeat the "Baja, California; A Remarkable Journey" photo expedition with Lindblad aboard the National Geographic Sea Lion. Our good friend Jack Swenson was the Expedition Leader and he guided us around Baja and into the Sea of Cortez looking for marine mammals and taking walks on isolated islands. It was a fabulous trip.
February 1 - 12, 2017 we took our second trip to Cuba on a People-to-People trip: Cuba Revealed: Cultural Pathways from Camaguey to Havana, with Grand Circle Foundation. It was a great trip and we saw a different area of Cuba from our 2013 trip.
April/May 2016 we had a great three weeks in Italy on an OAT trip: Tuscany and Umbria: Rustic Beauty in the Italian Heartland. I have a few Blog posts about some of our unusual experiences.
We had two fabulous trips in 2015. The first was to Eastern Europe. It was really two trips back-to-back. The first was an Overseas Adventure Travel trip: "Jewels of Bohemia: Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia & Hungary" followed by a river cruise on the Danube with Grand Circle Travel: "Eastern Europe to the Black Sea: Budapest to Bucharest."
The second great trip was "Wildlife Paradise Photo Safari by Private Air: Including South Africa, Botswana and Namibia," with Jack and Rikki Swenson through Lindblad Expeditions and Eyes on Africa. We were promised leopards, and were not disappointed. |
