If you’re looking for a Web site for The Penn Stater magazine, well, we haven’t
gotten to that yet, but we’re working on it. Honest! But you might want to check
out the magazine blog, which is a lot of fun, if we do say so ourselves.

In the meantime, let me entertain you with some of my travel photos…

Lake Constance
Italian Riviera (also the blog from that trip)
A side trip to Florence
Alaska (I kept a blog on that trip, too)
Provence and the French Riviera (there’s a blog from that trip too)
Holland and Belgium
Orlando’s Sea World and Discovery Cove
British Isles (or the sampler, or the blog)
Galapagos
Newfoundland
Prague (or a sampler of just a few photos)
Antarctica (lots of penguin photos here!)
Kauai
