I was so excited to see the Taj Mahal. For one thing, it’s a sight that you hear about your whole life, and for another if the day is too cloudy or overcast, your chances of seeing it go way down. Luckily we were able to see it. I couldn’t believe the crowds, and [...] Continue reading WHS – The Taj! 
I was very excited about going to Frasier Island, and since we had limited time we took a 4WD tour around the island. I think if I did it again, I wouldn’t take a tour, but it was nice for the first time. It’s pretty incredible that the whole island is made out of [...] Continue reading WHS – Frasier Island, Australia 
Getting to Nikko was half the fun, especially on a snowy January day. The train takes well over an hour from Tokyo and then it’s a bus ride or a walk to the temple. It was a cold, wet snow so every step made me colder than the oen before it. Of course photographing [...] Continue reading World Heritage Site – Nikko, Japan

We took the bus to the beginning of the interesting [...] Continue reading World Heritage Sites – Giant’s Causeway 
Our very first day in the country, and we drive south of Sofia to see the famous Rila Monastery. It did not dissappoint. It was gorgeous through and through.

Walking around outside the Forbidden City, I came upon this sweet mom and daughter. We couldn’t communicate with anything other than smiles and hand signals, but we had a great time. Those are the memorable experiences while traveling that I love, even if the interaction only lasts five minutes. [...] Continue reading Flag Girl 
Everywhere we went in southeast Asia, vendors were selling cut sugar cane with a sweet sticky rice in the center. It was delicious. We were tuk tuking through a village near Angkor Wat in Cambodia when we stopped to watch this husband and wife preparing the snack to be sold. [...] Continue reading Food – Sugar Cane Goodness 
Lhasa. Tibet. What a place! I wouldn’t say it was a vacation, traveling through Tibet is pretty hard-coare traveling. The barren landscape, the altitude, the constant struggle between the Tibetans and the Chinese. It’s all very interesting. The Potala Palace is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. Painted with Buddhist symbols in bright colors, the [...] Continue reading WHS – The Potala Palace 
Traveling throught the French countryside in the Loire valley, we passed many a castle. That, of course, is what makes the Loire valley such a tourist destination. 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 |
