Calboy1227's Photo Album 2
Here are some pictures of me from the summer of 2001. I was fortunate to have a chance to study under the U.S. Supreme Ct. Justice Anthony Kennedy in Europe for a few weeks. In the mean while, I also went to Italy and Germany just for fun. :) : For better viewing quality and bigger pix, simply right click on a pix and select "zoom out". SORRY, IF SOME PIX DON'T SHOW UP, PLEASE CLICK ON ON THE LINKS PROVIDED IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE TO RELOAD. DO NOT HIT THE RELOAD BUTTON.
Even though I took tons and tons and pictures in Europe, I didn't have time/energy/patience to scan them all. Oh well, at least I did scan quite a few of them in my spare time... => |

This page contains pictures of my trip to Europe in summer of 2001.
The person in the picture with me is U.S. Supreme Ct. Justice Anthony Kennedy. I enjoyed attending his Constitutional law class in Europe and learned a lot from him. Despite his status, Justice Kennedy's very down to earth and friendly. When he had time, it was not too difficult for anyone to strike a conversation with him at all.

BMW Museum in Munich, Germany
At last, I've finally visited the BMW Museum in Munich. This place's like Mecca for all BMW enthusiasts => Too bad I didn't have enough time to schedule a plant tour. Next time....:)

Mozart Festival in Salzburg
I guess the Austrians were having the annual Mozart Festival when I visited. I could hear music everywhere as I walked around the city. I should've taken a ride on one of those carriages and see how it feels like.. hehe |

Chilling at night
This is me chilling with friends at a hotel restaurant in Vienna. It was late so everyone looked sleepy. But that didn't stop some of us from going to Slovakia in the next morning! I didn't go but I heard it was a boring trip.. hehehe

Me and Professor Douglas
This is my other Professor who taught me in another class....She's from England so she has this really cool British accent when she talks...But it was fun taking her class. :)

Mozart's Birth Place
Mozart was born in the Yellow apt. behind me. The apt. has been converted to a mini museum containing some furniture, music notes and items from the 18th century. Too bad no pictures were allowed in the building... |
Neuschwanstein Castle
This is Neuschwanstein Castle, built for the Bavarian King Ludwig II in the 19th century. I think it's one of the most gorgeous castles in Europe.... Doesn't it look like one of those castles seen in fairy tales? :)

Marien Platz, Munich
This is where the famous "Clock" was built, Marien Platz. I remember seeing tons and tons of people gather in the plaza just to see the clock go off at 5pm everyday.... I sure like Munich's Bavarian tradition a lot.. :) |
Mirabelle Garden
I think Mirabelle Garden is one of the most gorgeous gardens in Europe. It's also one of the most popular wedding locations. Really, words do no justice to Mirabelle Garden's beauty. You should check it out for yourself.. :)

Me and Ken
This is me and my friend Ken at the closing dinner in Austria....Ken and I went to quite a few places together in Europe and it was fun hanging out with him... |
Me and a Ferrari F360
Oh check this out, a red Ferrari F360 parked somewhere in Munich, Germany. This must be an upscale area because this red Ferrari was the third Ferrari I saw on the same street. Sigh.. only if I could get a ride in it someday...

Salzburg, Austria
This is one of the places in Salzburg that I visited most frequently because it's very close to my classes. Notice it's very common to see rivers running in the center of a town in Europe. I guess it's because many European cities were originally built next to the water source... river.. heheh
|
Vanice Bridge
I have no idea what the historical significance of this site is. I took a picture of it only because other tourists were doing the same thing... heheh.. Gosh it was hot on that day..

Taking a walk in Mirabelle Garden
The Mirabelle Garden in Salzburg is known to be one of the top choices for couples to get married in Europe. I am not surprised to learn this at all. |
Somewhere in Vienna
This is a guy selling Mozart's concert tix somewhere in Vienna. He's friendly enough to take a pix with me when I walked past him.

Numberg Priory
Numberg Priory is located somewhere in Salzburg, Austria. I accidentally stumbled upon this place when I was walking around the city. I like the scenery though. |
Having dinner with Justice Kennedy
Justice Kennedy chats with me and friends at the dinner table. Despite being one of the Su. Ct. Justices, he's known for his friendly attitudes and kind smiles.

On board the train
My classmate Bryan and I were in the train to Munich. We're just doing our little international trip from Austria to Germany during the weekend. |
Heldenplatz looking gloomy
Vienna really looked great in this pix but unfortunately, it was just about to rain like crazy. It really sucks that the weather's so unpredictable in Europe.
