Scenes from London, Paris, Rome a long long time ago

My h.s. graduation present ever so many years ago was a 2 week trip to Europe with my Mom.
My brother had taken the same trip a few years before, with my Dad.

Dad, who couldn't sit still then and still can't now, decided that since Mom and I were on holiday, he and my brother would take a quick jaunt to Spain and Portugal.

These are photos of my first across the pond experience!

Venice, 1974

<This photo is from 2003 , and the one below is from 1974.

Grand Canal, it would be interesting to see how much the water level has risen in 34 years. The experts tell by the water lines on the buildings, or you can just observe how much of the lower level is under water now. Will have to look for my most recent photo (c. 2003)
