PICTURE GALLERY - AMERICA
In the following pages you'll find some of the pictures I took during my American holidays.
The first pictures
show the city Seattle, really charming and with a high standard
of living. It is also surrounded by a fascinating landscape.
With a two-hour driving south of Seattle, you can reach Mount Rainier
National Park, or... if you can't actually live without a PC... go
visit Redmond !
