    I like seeing the old photos. Maybe this week I will try something like this for Hartford.

    Wow, imagine living in one of those apartments in a castle by the sea.

    Beautiful! I love these, too. The style is the same as the original buildings on the current Xavier University campus at home.

    Sunday greetings from overcast Port Canaveral,

    I remember your photos and the bridge. It hasn't changed very much...
