December 18 – 25 Crossing the Border in Santa Hats The Bulgarian border crossing guards looked into our train compartment and immediately started laughing and speaking to us in Bulgarian. Emma, Bjorn and I wore the santa hats that I bought at the Euro store in Athens. The guards obviously thought this was quite amusing […]

Petra
A week or so ago, we stopped in the small town of Wadi Musa. That towns main reason for existing was probably the nearby site of Petra. The second day there we got the incredibly nice people working at the hotel to drive us to the ancient city. The walk was long and strenuous, but […]
Pyramids of Giza
A few days ago we took a cab across Cairo to Giza. The first thing that I noticed was the way the city came right up to the pyramids. Then I realized how huge they were. They were really amazing. We saw the sphinx first. I think the paws were waaay to long. The three […]
Arabian Nights
Four days ago we walked out of our hotel to face four camels lounging about in the sand. They were to take us across the desert. Of course, we got on, and thus started out our desert expedition. The first two hours were spent getting away from society and into the endless desert. The camels […]
Sicily
Sicily I am really sorry we haven’t been keeping up on our blog. We decided that we are going to use Sicily as our hanging out area, so we decided to relax and not post much on our blog. In Paris our time was taken up with sightseeing. The computer was used either for booking […]
Postcards to Caeser
(I don’t think this title means much, but Mom insists.) We are in Syracuse, Sicily, and are having a very good time. After a bit of a searching for a nice hotel, we found a really great one, and settled right in. But first, I need to talk about our visit to the once great […]
London
August 18 When we arrived in London we went on the underground to our hotel on Belsize park. At the hotel we layed down and went to sleep. Later in the day we met Alex and Julia (our friends that decided to meet us in London). We went to their place and watched television and […]
Copan Ruinas
August 13 Today we went to the Macaw Mountain Bird Park. It was a 21/2 kilometer walk from town. We had a guide bring us through. The first stop was the parakeets, then scarlet macaws. There was a cage for scarlet macaws that you could walk through. There were also toucans, green macaws, aracaris, owls, […]
Visiting the Mayan ruins
Wow! Today was great! We left Roatan yesterday, and we were all sad to go. It was Mom and Dad’s favorite place in the Caribbean, and it was me and my sister’s favorite (and only) place too. But now we have reached Copan Ruinas and having just as much fun. We are staying at a […]
Roatan!
We’ve made it to our first island, and I have been having a great time. The first day was a long trip on the ferry on which Emma threw up, but other than that, the trip was pretty fun. We even saw a shipwreck near Roatan. Then we headed to our hotel, a place called […]
