With Egypt in the news, I wanted to share some photos of friendly faces I encountered there during my visit there in January 2009. To bring you up to speed on recent events: Tens of thousands of anti-government demonstrators have taken to the streets demanding an end to President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year rule.

Petra is a place of myths, legends, and Indiana Jones fantasies. Except it’s real and not a movie set. I hiked through this UNESCO World Heritage site in Jordan exactly two years ago. This historical city was mainly cut from the rock here around the 6th Century BC. “Petra by Night” may be touristy, but […]

Not only did I delight in sampling local specialties and fresh locally grown produce, I was fortunate enough to have home cooked meals prepared with love and pride by my many hospitable hosts from coast to coast… to coast.

During my month traveling through Israel, I spent a few days on the Ketura Kibbutz in the Arava desert of Southern Israel and it was so […]

What’s Israel like? It’s obviously a unique place, but it’s also a place with big cars, clean sidewalks, & hip people. I visited for a month and sometimes felt like I was in South Florida and other times not. It’s interesting on this journey around the world as I bounce between countries that are clean […]

It’s as old as dirt. Well, it is dirt primarily. You may know it from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”, but this is no movie set. It is one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World.” The “rose city” of Petra, Jordan is a vast, unique city of grand temples, tombs, and buildings […]
