The first group I traveled with... Egypt. 2009 The River Cruise down the Nile was so cool! And the staff onboard were very entertaining! We bought the clothes in this picture from guys who paddled up to our ship on the river and showed us the clothes. We bartered and once we agreed on the amount, we threw our money down to them and they threw the clothes up to us! It was hilarious! But so much fun and laughter! Some of the money ended up in the river, but they always managed to retrieve it.

Machu Picchu... what a marvel of mortar-free structures in the grandeur midst (and mist) of the Andes! The sky eventually opened up later that morning and it was absolutely stunning!

This is the elevation and GPS location while driving beside the Dead Sea in Israel! The Dead Sea is one of my best memories of our trip to Israel. It is hard to explain how you just can’t sink and how lovely your skin feels when you emerge. I hope to go back one day.

Sydney Habour... What a perfect sight to see! Blessed beyond all blessings to have seen so many glorious places in this wonderful world!

Hop-on-hop-off buses are a great way to site-see at your own pace! Many are double decker with open top. On a beautiful day, this is definitely the way to go! Wow! Guess I had black hair on this trip.
