We just came back from a trip which included a visit to St. Petersburg, a place we have always wanted to visit.

After having visited numerous palaces all over Europe we were totally blown away by the opulence and decoration in places like the Peterhof and the Hermitage which seem to make all the other "well-knowns" seem almost fifth-rate in comparison.

Berlin
Croatia
Bosnia
Umbria
southern France/northern Spain


We lived for several years in Europe and traveled quite a lot in western Europe, and there are many places I would like to re-visit. The list is of places we have never seen.
We just learned that a friend will be a judge at the war crimes tribunal in Sarajevo for two years, hence the interest in Bosnia
