Howdy and Happy New Year from Texas, Ya’ll

AC’s pictures below aren’t from Texas either – well most of them aren’t.

AC had a wonderful time hanging out with us to see more of the world last year. He did things in Austin, attending events at several local venues, where he enjoyed live music and met countless new friends who shared his passion for culture and creativity. He also went to Dallas to see Aj and Aaron, indulging in delicious local foods and attending vibrant events there, like the Octoberfest, which was filled with laughter, music, and traditional foods that captured the spirit of the celebration.

In addition to the travels within the United States, we ventured to several other countries; Canada offered AC cooler weather with baseball, arts, music, and wineries, the Canary Islands provided a moon-scaped escape with picturesque beaches and amazing vineyards growing right out of the lava rocks, while Morocco mesmerized him with its rich history and vibrant souks. The adventures continued in Spain, where he explored the lively streets of Barcelona, roamed the stunning Swiss Alps, and marveled at the historical sites in Germany. Finally, he made it to the Netherlands, where he found himself enamored by the charm and beauty of Amsterdam, which we all know is the prettiest city ever, with its iconic canals, colorful tulips, and welcoming atmosphere that left an unforgettable impression on his heart.

Note: It seems to be a difficult task to post almost a year’s worth of travel pictures. Below you will find several galleries in random groupings of 4, 40 pictures in total. You may need to use the side arrows to navigate, or you may not. It depends on how your computer/ phone presents them.

Happy Trails into 2025!
