  • Cardiff, Wales

    Cardiff, Wales

    << Click here to see the photos >> I didn’t realize that Cardiff was actually in Wales when people said it was so close to Bristol.  It’s funny because a lot of English people told me that Bristol and Bath were nice, but I should skip Cardiff.  In Cardiff, we were told that the people…

    London & The Museum

    << Click here to see the photos >> Going back to LON was an ironic way to end the trip.  After touring sites all over the world, we saw a lot of empty spots because the things that belonged there were at the British Museum.  As a result, that was literally the ONLY spot we…

    Ancient Egypt: 4 other stops!

    << Click here for photos >> When you do some many stops in a country with some many sites, it’s hard to organize all the photos.  Inside here, the temple of Abu Simbel is the one that probably left me the most speechless.  The carved this massive temple out of stone in a mountain.  That’s…

  • Ancient Egypt: Luxor

    Ancient Egypt: Luxor

    << Click here for photos >> There is so much to see in Luxor, this gallery is pretty big.  However, the massiveness of the sites warrants a massive gallery.  This was towards the end of our time in Egypt, but we were still seeing things we’ve never seen before.  It’s really hard to describe how…

    Ancient Egypt: Giza & Edfu

    << Click here for photos >> I admit, I was like a giddy little kid when I first spotted the temples through the urban sprawl.  9 days later, we were wrapping up the trip and I was still giddy when I saw them on the horizon from the highway.  There is no describing how awesome they…

    << Click here to see the photos >> We met some great people along the way during our time in Egypt.  Some were willing to have their photo taken.  Language barriers are sometime an issue, but a smile is universal.  Many of the people in here from Hay Al Asher were introduced to me by…

    Egypt: Museums

    << Click here for the photos >> Despite all of the on-site artifacts and amazing art, we still had to visit a bunch of museums during this trip.  Museum photos aren’t always that interesting, but every now and then I see something that I want to snap.  In this gallery, you will see mummified crocodiles,…

    Ep 15: England – Jon’s Home

    Why don’t you stare at people in his hometown?  How can I try to risk my life as we go around the city?   Our last stop is a familiar England, but we’re hoping to get out to see more of the country on this trip.  Inspired by a longtime friend, I think we’ll hit…
