The second time I visited Madrid was in the Winter of 07. It was nice that the weather wasn't particularly cold. One night I was walking in the Plaza Mayor and I took a picture showing the Christmas Lights.

Florence (Firenze) is probably one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. I visited for the first time several years ago, but I still have in my mind the lasting impression of such beautiful architecture. When I was in the terrace of the Uffizi gallery, I had the opportunity to take a picture of the amazing Duomo di Firenze. The cathedral is probably next to the Ponte Vecchio, one of the most recognized spots in Florence. This Duomo, created by Brunelleschi, was a remarkable achievement during the Renaissance period. I wouldn't mind visiting this city again!

One of my favorite European cities is Rome, because I love history, and when you walk around this city, you can see ancient Roman remains everywhere. A place I really liked during the visit in the summer of 07 was the "Foro Romano". As you can see here, it was a very sunny day, and the view was just magnificent!

In January 2007 we went on a paid ski trip to Courmayeur in Italy. One day when the sport guys were skiing we went with J.B. and M.G. to do some sightseeing in Chamonix Mont-Blanc. Actually we wanted to go to Geneva, but the bus schedule didn't work out so we ended up here. Anyway, it was worth it. We took a small train, went up to the mountain, and we saw this beautiful snow lake.

The only time I have been in the "North" (Northern Ireland, for the locals) was in November 06. One of the most interesting parts of the trip was going to the "Giant's Causeway", where the lava formations created these particular shapes that you can see on this picture.
