You gotta love a Greek Island. And Rhodes, you sprinkle in the mystery and exoticism of the Knights Templar, and wow…what a place. We took a ferry from Marmaris, Turkey to Rhodes where we ate pork, drank lots of wine, and walked around the labyrinthian streets enjoying the warmth. What a great get-a-way! [...] Continue reading A Weekend Getaway to Rhodes 
If you have visited the Philippines you have no doubt heard of Balut. It is a nearly developed duck fetus that is boiled and eaten out of the shell. I wanted to try one, but really had no idea about how to go about obtaining one. That problem was taken care of one [...] Continue reading A Taste of the Philippines – Balut

We don’t always want to go in to tourist sight after tourist sight,so on this particular day, we noticed a sign on the side of the road [...] Continue reading WHS – The Loire Valley 
The best place to see penguins in South Africa is at Boulder’s Beach. Much smaller than I thought it would be, you can even swim with the penguins there. They are a smaller breed of penguin and quite interesting to watch. Some of them had splashes of pink on their chests. They are now [...] Continue reading South Africa Penguins

Orheiul is [...] Continue reading Orhei Veichi, The Site to Go to in Moldova 
Traveling around Bulgaria, it sounds like the people are always yelling at you, or maybe about you. I don’t speak Bulgarian, so I just never knew what they were saying. It’s funny, though, they were so friendly. I stopped all over the country meeting people, shaking their hands, commenting on their gorgeous horses. So, [...] Continue reading A Bulgarian Man…and his Horse

One of our favorite trips ever, was to the Jigokudani Monkey Park, near Nagano in Japan. I’ve written a little more about it here. I would love to [...] Continue reading Things That Make Me Happy – Snow Monkey Spa 
Most people who have traveled to Egypt have had some experience with a felluca. We were in Aswan when we decided to take a felluca ride on the Nile. We didn’t do the overnight ride, because it was cold, but we did experience it. What I liked the most was the views. We [...] Continue reading Landscapes – Egyptian Fellucas 
Do you watch the tv show “The Amazing Race”? Well, I do. One time they were in Tunisia and the contestants were fed camel. Jim and I drove all over the country and passed by many a butcher. We didn’t really start encountering camel for sale until we got closer to the [...] Continue reading Camel? It’s What’s for Dinner! |
