My fabulous citizen science trip with Ray of Hope’s Queen of Mantas in the Revillagigedos Archipelago in Mexico! Always a highlight of my year. Photographing a Giant Manta at San Benedicto Island, photo by Andrea Marshall
After my fantastic trip photographing Mantas with the Queen of Mantas, I stayed for a few days of relaxation at the Westin Los Cabos Resort Villa and Spa. I highly recommend this beautiful paradise to anyone heading to Los Cabos!
Photographing a Giant Manta! How I love it!
San Benedicto Island is part of the Revillagigedos Archipelago, and is my favorite dive spot. This incredible photo is from a drone. Uninhabited, it is a volcanic site.


My incredible trip to St Simon’s Island in Georgia was highlighted by my stay at the King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort! I fell in love with the historic hotel, the island, and the people.
The fabulous pool at the King and Prince.
The wildlife on St Simon’s Island is fascinating. I loved these beautiful white pelicans.
Georgetown, Texas is such a wonderful small town, an hour north of Austin. Historical, beautiful, and so much fun to visit!
Always watch for Georgetown’s Poppy Festival!

I loved Dresden. This is the incredible Fürstenzug (Procession of Princes), a huge tribute to the rulers of Saxony. Originally painted in the late 1800s, the images were replaced with 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles! It is 335 feet or 102 meters long, the largest porcelain artwork on the planet!
I took this photo of Dresden at sunset from the Viking Astrild.
Florence on the Elbe is a good way to describe Dresden! The wineries are beautiful and right on the river.
The Hunting Lodge in Moritzburg was breathtaking.
Wittenburg was a lovely place to visit, the history of Protestantism and the religion itself was born here.
Castle Church, where Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses about the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church. His action changed the world.
Here are the doors where Luther nailed his theses. They are now engraved.
The Bridge of Spies is between Berlin and Potsdam.
The National Cathedral located at the Prague Castle.
Dalmatian horses in one of the prettiest city centers I have ever seen. Beautiful Prague!
The House of Kafka in Prague.

After our cruise Suzanne and I took a trip to Budapest, a city I have always wanted to visit. The view of the city and the beautiful Danube River is stunning.
From a boat ride, the Budapest Parliament Building in a storm. It was so dramatic!
Suzanne and I on the tour bus! I always take the double decker tour buses in new places.
The gorgeous Ritz Carlton on Elizabeth Park, the Pest side of Budapest. Our stay here was as luxurious as you can imagine!
We loved our Viking Cruise! I want to do it again….and again!
