On the 3rd of January we took a bus to Bergama. We hadn’t booked a place yet so we decided to check out a place called The Odyssey Guest House. It was on a small narrow street. When we got there we had to take our shoes off before we went inside. There were little […]

The Acropolis
On our second day on Athens we took the long hike from our apartment to the Acropolis hill. One dog companion later, we arrived at the Parthenon. They had rebuilt an impressive amount, and half of the ruins were new marble bricks. We hiked through the ruins, and came out in a large open area […]
Aswan, the Land of the Dam
On the night of the fourth, we boarded the night train to Aswan. We originally had planned on taking a day train, the night train differential costing much more than the price of a nice hotel, but we found out that foreign tourists were not allowed on the day train. The ostensible reason given is […]
Chaos Theory
This is my second trip to Cairo, my first being 33 years ago as a college student. On that trip, it was my first time out of the country, not including short trips into Canada. For that matter, it was my first time on an airplane. It was a bit of a shock to someone […]
The Times of London
Yes. We did leave London on the 31st of October, so this post is a bit stale. However, the last 10 days have been busy with seeing the sites. Late will have to suffice. The original plan was to arrive in London late in the evening, and then fly off the next afternoon for Cairo. […]

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 […]
Oslo — This is Fjord Country
Oslo– This is Fjord Country Our blogging has been delayed again. Though we were busy the last four days in Prague, the main reason for the delay was our poor internet connection. But now we are in Salzburg, and again have a good Internet connection. Before I get into Prague, I must backtrack to the […]
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, […]
