Day 32: Riga

This picture was taken November 2012.  I did a lot of traveling in November.  This was a little display thing in the middle of Old Town in Riga.  It was really powerful with its content (tragedy in Latvia during WWII) and its color and contrast.  The messages were written in Latvian, English, Russian, German and Hebrew.

Unfortunately when I went they were actually moving the exhibit and so there was very much available to see.  There were two walls pretty much.  But it was really cool.

You have to be careful where you park though.  There is a boot on that car.  Oops.

Day 31: Stockholm

These pictures were taken November 2012 of the Stockholm Sweden Temple.  For more information about temples click here.  I was a little bit disappointed that it was dark when we actually got there.  But you do what you can do.  Being in the right place at the right time is hard when you are just visiting for a couple hours.  But I was at least grateful to be there and get my picture taken.

The writing says, "Temple, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."

Day 30: Hill of Crosses

These pictures were taken November 2012 in Lithuania.  The closest city was Šiauliai, Lithuania.  We took a bus from that city to another and were dropped off pretty much in the middle of nowhere.  We went here to see the Hill of Crosses (below).  It was kind of eerie when it started to get dark.  There is just something about the mist.

Lone Tree

There were a ton of crosses on this hill.  Some were bigger others were smaller.  But there were a ton. Some of them had years dating back to 1997.

Day 29: Columbus

This picture was taken in May 2009.  I was at the mall in Columbus, Ohio.  I am not sure if this telephone actually worked.  I didn't actually go inside it.  Heck, I don't even know if it opens up!  I just thought that it was cool.

Day 28: Rovaniemi

This picture was taken December 2012.  It is the road that goes between Santa Claus Village and Santapark in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland.  I am not sure if it is inside or outside the Arctic Circle.  But it is close.  It was getting dark even though the picture was taken about 2:30 pm.

Day 27: Mt Rushmore

This picture was taken when we went to Mt Rushmore.  I don't remember much of that trip but I do remember seeing the faces and that our tent blew down in Wyoming.  Flinstones town was pretty cool also.

Day 26: Moscow

This picture was taken on October 5, 2012 in Moscow.  We were there for the weekend and of course we went to go see St. Basil's Cathedral.  I am not going to lie the first time I saw it I wasn't as impressed.  But then we went back at night and I was overwhelmed.  I was thinking now this is more like it.
