I got to go to the last game played at the Pontiac Silverdome, where the Lions actually beat someone, and was I sure happy that it was the Cowboys. |

| Schloss Lindenhof |
European Vacation 2000 |
Ludwig II of Bavaria is best known for building Castle Neuschwanstein, but Lindenhof is actually the only one of several building projects that Ludwig finished. It's small, but magnificent. |

| Keukenhof, The Netherlands |
European Vacation 2000 |
Keukenhof is the world's largest flower garden, spread over 32-hectares and attracting over 800,000 visitors each year. This number is very impressive since the gardens are only open for a few weeks each year. The beauty of these gardens and the brilliant bulb flowers just cannot be adequately captured in pictures. The flower gardens at Keukenhof were the idea of the 1949 mayor of Lisse. He worked with about a dozen prominent Dutch bulb growers and exporters to develop the gardens. Their objective was to have an open-air flower exhibition where growers could showcase their latest hybrids, and consumers could view and buy a wide range of flower bulbs. Keukenhof is one of the most photographed sites in the world |

| Dachau |
European Vacation 2000 |
Established in March 1933, the Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the Nazis. Heinrich Himmler, in his capacity as police president of Munich, officially described the camp as "the first concentration camp for political prisoners." It was located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the northeastern part of the town of Dachau, about 10 miles northwest of Munich in southern Germany. During the first year, the camp held about 4,800 prisoners and by 1937 the number had risen to 13,260. Initially the internees consisted primarily of German Communists, Social Democrats, and other political opponents of the Nazi regime. Over time, other groups were also interned at Dachau such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma (Gypsies), homosexuals, as well as "asocials" and repeat criminals. During the early years relatively few Jews were interned in Dachau and then usually because they belonged to one of the above groups or had completed prison sentences after being convicted for violating the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. In 1942, the crematorium area was constructed next to the main camp. It included the old crematorium and the new crematorium (Barrack X) with a gas chamber. There is no credible evidence that the gas chamber in Barrack X was used to murder human beings. Instead, prisoners underwent "selection"; those who were judged too sick or weak to continue working were sent to the Hartheim "euthanasia" killing center near Linz, Austria. Several thousand Dachau prisoners were murdered at Hartheim. Further, the SS used the firing range and the gallows in the crematoria area as killing sites for prisoners. It is unlikely that the total number of victims who died in Dachau will ever be known. |

France 1999 |
On 2:30 am on the morning of June 6, 1944 the invasion began with the American Airborne Divisions being dropped into Normandy to secure critical areas near Ste-Mere-Eglise. The town has been made famous from movie depictions of a parachutist from the 82nd Airborne who became hung up on the church tower during his drop. |

| Rouen, Normandy France |
France 1999 |
The capital of Normandy, Rouen is a center of industry and commerce; it is the fifth largest port in France and the closest one to Paris. Rouen is one of France’s most historic cities; William the Conqueror died here in 1087 and in 1431 it was the stage for the trial and execution of Joan of Arc. She was burned at the stake in the Place du Vieux-Marché (the Old Marketplace); the position is still marked by a huge bronze cross. Allied bombing largely destroyed the city; all of its bridges and many of its great churches were ruined, however substantial investment has been focused on restoring parts of the city to its former medieval glory. The great Cathédrale Notre-Dame, immortalised by Monet, remained fairly unscathed and is well worth a visit for its wonderful stonework. Especially interesting is the Chapelle de la Vierge, where the heart of Richard the Lion-Heart is entombed as a token of his affection for the people of Rouen. The chapel also contains the Renaissance tombs of the cardinals d'Amboise. |
