    All of these are absolutely stunning!!! Whil and Schmet you two have out done yourselves and have set a high bar for me!!!! Just let me know when you want me to pick back up with Athens.

    I am from Dublin, so I know Ireland the best followed by England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

    But Australia and New Zealand are not scheduled until next Spring.

    Happy Birthday to your son Schmet. I hope you are feeling better.

    Schmett, and YOU were calling ME a slave driver? ;p
    I liked the prayer labyrinth, it's not common at all (and I never saw one in person)
  5. Schmetterling Well-Known Member
