Europe 1978, Part 2





I couldn't figure out why this picture was included amongst the beautiful travel photos in the "Europe 1978" albums I found at the Goodwill.

Then I saw the sign ... and realized this was a Bed and Breakfast that  "anonymous" apparently stayed at on their whirlwind trip through Europe (in the Ireland portion of their album).

And it's not often I find a photo that encompasses so many of the memes I love ...

There are "hearts" in the fence and gate if you look closely.
 There's the "fence" itself.
There's the B&B "sign".
That bottom window has interesting "reflections" ...
And this is definitely a "Vintage" photo!

Did I miss any?

Europe 1978, Part 1


I couldn't believe it when I found 2 photo albums at the Goodwill Outlet Store ... full of wonderful pictures from someone's trip to Europe.

On the flyleaf of each album is written  "Europe 1978". There are no other identifying marks. Some of the photos have small typewritten identification tags, but most are missing. I have had a blast trying to identify some of the more famous places!

This is one of the shots taken in Ireland ...don't you just love the contrast of the cart being driven past the car?

The albums include shots from: Ireland, England, France and Italy.
I can't imagine how they ended up at the Goodwill.

But ... someone's loss is my gain!!!
