Welcome to Karen's virtual world of travel

I secured the domain name, KarenLSchaefer.com three years ago and have just decided to start playing with it.
This is just a quick, easy, and inexpensive way of sharing photos capturing various good times had on my trips.
Poland, April 29 - May 5, 2006
Here's a set of collages from my most wonderful trip to visit son Gary, daughter-in-law Rika, and grandson Ryan, 18 months.
They arrived in Warsaw December 2005 for Gary's first tour of duty as a consular officer at the Warsaw Embassy.
They'll be in Warsaw until December 2007, when most likely they'll travel to a yet-to-be-determined second assignment.
The US Embassy in Warsaw isn't much to look at-- but with special permission we got the traditional picture under the seal.
Photographing the embassy is not ordinarily permitted.
