  <title>1000places' most popular photos</title>
  <subtitle type="html">&lt;i&gt;"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away."&lt;/i&gt;  [Anonymous]&#13;
&#13;
When we retired from Federal government service, one of the best gifts we received was the book &lt;i&gt;"1000 Places to See Before You Die."&lt;/i&gt;  We now have made it a goal to explore as many of these venues as possible.  We hope you enjoy the photo travel logs we are compiling as we seek out those places that take our breath away.&#13;
