Here's mine:






A view of Lucca, Italy. You can ride a bike or just walk on the tops of the walls of this Medieval city in Northern Tuscany. It's enchanting!

1. Nice!

That's where my 3xgreat-grandfather was born!

[CTyankee]

2. It's nice. I went to a lovely ristorante there for a memorable meal.

I didn't know that it was Puccini's birthplace!

Never saw a walled city before. Quite interesting. Nothing like here.

I hope you have gone there or plan to go. You will absolutely love it...no cars allowed (no room for them anyway) in the old section. Bikes and people walking and little shops...lovely way of life...

[enlightenment]

12. It sounds wonderful . . . and it's on my list!

You know, that 'list of things to do . . .'

Need to brush up on my Italian, though!

3. Copenhagen...look how dank and socialist and awful

[malaise]

6. I love that socialist Denmark

SO many evil parks to wander

[Change Happens]

4. My fav.......Stockholm!

[hatrack]

5. Sheesh - towering turrets of Freedumb-hate!!!!

And that bridge - prolly gotta whole buncha people together to build it - like some socialist labor cooperative effort!!!

[Change Happens]

7. We try to go there every summer...The socialists there keep looking better and better every year..nt

8. Prague!

[CTyankee]

9. I love it that Prague was spared from the Germans predation!

Such a lovely city. I love that they did not visit their violence on these people.
I want to go there and hope to soon. What a wonderful place to be in!

10. Another one for Stockholm! Gotta be careful about those Socialist hippies in Sweden!

Just look! Those damn Socialist hippies are busy plotting the overthrow of America.

Look at how they just.... sit there.... reading their books and enjoying fresh air and sunshine near a fountain and a blue river.

It's obvious to anyone that the Socialist Swedish government is oppressing these people!

It will spell doom to the American way of life I tells ya!

:+

EDIT: Look at how healthy all those Swedes look too! That damn Socialist healthcare system is the cause of that!

14. What a beautiful city!

I've added all the capital cities of Scandinavia to my travel "bucket list."

11. Delft, Holland

[CTyankee]

13. Those Dutch! Why can't they fix their systems???

I was in Amsterdam in the 50s as a kid (my mother took me there). I was pretty amazed. I remember the museum with "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt...I never forgot it...

I'd like to post Oslo, even though I've never been there . . .

. . . and the likelihood of me going is slim to none (overseas travel is just way too expensive).



The Proletariat Fountain Commemorating Eternal Starvation and Bread Lines.



Where Propaganda is Composed and Chanted in Unison by the Peonage at Gunpoint.



As you Can See, The Skies Cry and Blacken under Darkened Governments with Hordes of Securitates.



Where the Citizens Scrounge for Gruel, Weep and Steal Maggot-Infested Meat.



Citizens Roam the Gulags, Avoiding Bullets and Burning Public Busses.

17. I was told by someone who travelled to all of the Scandinavian capitals

that Oslo was her favorite. I also spoke with a young American woman last summer who was married to a Norwegian and lived there and she recounted her experience with a pregnancy, birth and post natal care in Norway's system of socialized medicine. There women usually stay 4 nights in the hospital getting the care they need and helping to get the breast feeding regularized. As a first time mom, she got 5 nights just to make sure her nursing was going well. Then she had house visits of a midwife/nurse to check on the baby and her...
