I need to apologize for taking so long getting the next lesson done. I thought it would be done by now, but I’ve been experiencing the effects of jet lag more than usual and haven’t been working a lot since I got back from vacation.
LOL, I guess I needed a vacation from my vacation 🙂 But seriously, I had a great time with my family, plus two sisters-in-law. We spent a week in Paris, then explored the Mediterranean coast of France from Spain all the way to Italy.
We’re a homeschool family, so it also served as a very educational field trip!
It’s a beautiful country. We were continually amazed by the graciousness of the people we encountered everywhere we went. The stereotype of French people being rude to Americans is totally obsolete.
Anyway, I’m now working on the next lesson. And in the mean time, here are some photos from our trip…
You can see some more pics on my flickr account.
Have a great day!
That’s my boy Judah. And no, that was me kissing my wife LOL.

thanks
yes, those Monet’s were awesome. Thank you very much
LOL, we did eat some frites… the best ones are the ones they serve in your pita at the donner kebab stands
Sardines 🙂
amen to the new trend. No I haven’t tried them, it looks interesting
How the other half live, Eric you lucky sod.
Now if I concentrate on implementing what Eric teaches me in Eric’s Tips, I might get to experience a similar life style 😉
Cheers Eric,
Ken.
Very nice pics, a cute family that you have.
Happy to see you liked visiting France. I’m french. However, concerning the “frites”, you need to taste the ones in the North of France (that’s where I live), or even in Belgium. Of course, that’s quite the opposite side that you visited but just in case…
Can’t wait to go. Your photos are beautiful!
Hey Eric,
What a beautiful family you have. I can understand that you need a vacation from your vacation. I love the picture of you and your wife kissing – very romantic. You’re a great photographer.
You’ve given me the travel bug. Hope to be going to Europe soon.
Get some rest now
Wonderful Eric, lovely trip. I look forward to getting going and getting some $$ and going over there

Hey Eric,
You have a lovely family! Thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures, they are awesome! May God Continue To Bless You and Your Family!!
Eric,
Your wife is blessed with great genes. HA!
Looks like the trip was fun and a good
family trip.
Good pictures !!!!!!
Good you enjoyed with your family
yes.your pictures are excellent and beutifull.
Very nice photos. I lived in Europe for many years and your photos made me very homesick for Europe.
Hey Eric, thanks for the pics; memories for life man! Can’t go wrong going to the Mediterranean. I bet the food was unreal!
Wow Eric nice photo’s indeed! The ladies bike looks pretty much like a Dutch bicycle to me, with the white painted 10 inch fender and reflector. Amazing very non-French 😉 I love your work and study every topic you launch carefully! Push Button Marketer is an extremely handy tool! Cheers, Leonard
Great photo’s of your latest trip, thanks for sharing.
Wow, thanks for sharing, Eric… beautiful pics! I’m assuming you took most of them… you have a great eye for picture taking.
I like the innocence of all the pics, especially the ones with the kids.
These images are as beautiful as can be, but it makes me wonder how nice it would be to experience those sights in person. So, if you were in Paris for a week… how long was the entire vacation?
Quincy
Good to know for next time 😉
thanks, yes I took them except for the one of me kissing my wife 🙂 It was 18 days
Hi Eric: great photoes, glad you and your family enjoyed the Holiday. The hair doo on baby put a smile on my face,not as cute as his though.
Hi Eric,
Great photos of France vacatation.
I will be out there later this year
expanding my Business to this market.
Looking forward to it.
Adrian
What a great art to be in love from Life!
Tank you Eric you are sharing this with us.
Hi Eric,
Nice photos. Thanks for sharing. It must be nice to take vacations and treat your family to the finer things in life. I am stuck in a rut and a day job, but my dream is to become finacially independent by owning my own internet business. Your Erics Tips are a great help to realize that goal.
Beautiful pix….love the kid with the hair!!
BTW, wheres YOUR hair???
Also, when I was in France, I found the people to be very kind and helpful…counter to stereotypes…….dont believe what you hear!
Ok…I see your hair in the vac pics but not in the one above your optin on this page….
You are quite the photog Eric. I really like the composition of the bike against the wall.
Thank you for sharing your family vacation with us.’
Hi!
Your trip vacation pictures bring back to me a lot of memories. Your family looks happy which is the proof of a great vacation.
The little one is Judah? You took him in vacation? WOW! He is adorable.
Bravo!, the jet lag will go away, but this pictures will be in your memory forever.
Regards
Michaela
!
very nice pics man! what camera and lens are u using?
Hey Eric,
Those are some really great photos. Love the south of France and Mediterrian as a whole.
Looks like you have a real knack for photography Eric.
Ed
thanks, my eye was drawn to the bikes in Paris… I took some others too:
Yup we took the baby on vacation, he’s a good traveller 😉
thanks! Canon 50D with their 18-200mm zoom lens. It’s not a pro lens, but I found it to be perfect versatility to only bring one lens on a trip like this.
As you were so close to the UK, I would have been upset if you were a tiny bit close to the West Midlands, and not be able to meet you, as we also homeschool, and well, You are famous after all?. To me you are!. But, the pictures look fantastic!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing those pic’s Eric! Was good to see you and your family again (amazing how the kids have grown.) I LOVED the baby pic…what a grin it brought to my face!
Also, The pic’s of Paris brought back great memories of the trip my hubby took me on before we were married. It truly is a city of lovers.
I’ve collected hundreds of pic’s around Australia the last 5 months and am wondering how to market the, so I will be studying what you’ve been doing on flickr and istock. Any insights you might have for me? Do you use Google Picasa at all?
LOVE

Hello Eric
You have some classic French shots in your photos like the bicycle and the boats… brings memories back to me of Cannes Film Festival days.
It’s great to see that internet marketing does have a personal side
AWESOME!
Wonderful pics Erik. Thanks for sharing. You have a wonderful family. Thanks for all your help with your lessons – we really appreciate your honesty and integrity. God Bless
Hi Eric,
Thanks for sharing the pictures!!! Great pictures and lovely family, it really made my day.
I particularly love the kissing one (so romantic – how did you get other to get it right: composition etc.), each one with your beautiful children.
This gives me encouragement and inspiration to be a successful internet marketer. Being able to go on vacation with family and visit family each year is in my vision on the previous lessons.
Thanks for sharing,
Shirley
Such a beautifully compiled mail you have send Eric – I really enjoyed going through all the photos of you and your family in France – of course you are one of the most focussed people I have ever met on the net and I am sure that you will one day be a doyen of internet banking .. regards to you and your family from me in India .. shall be coming to the US for a month or so – June – July and if possible – may perhaps meet you and talk to you there too …

I could picture myself walking back to memory lane, Eric, when I saw those lovely pictures of yours. I haven’t visited France for a long time now. I love Paris in Spring, Summer and Autumn. I’d visited France many times when I was living in England in the 80s.
What a close-knit family you have Eric and thank you for sharing those scenic photos with us.
Great pics Eric!
I want to mention that these pics and your experiences are a lesson in themselves, ie:
“What can be achieved with focused effort in the right direction”
Keep it up

Thanks for your invaluable course. Your pics are great and you obviously had a good time.
Hi Deb, I will plan on posting about istock sometime in the future. I can’t say much yet, as I’ve just applied to be a content provider and haven’t started selling anything yet. I will say their standards are pretty strict though. I don’t use Picasa, but I think it’s a great tool.
Nice photos. Glad you had fun. Great job.
