Charming for sure! La Sultana looks beautiful :-) Well, they are definitely finicky about giving out visas, and the phone networks are dodgy.. but your experience sounds so good that I have to see the place!! Can't wait to be there!
Great Trip I thought it was funny when I saw that Gordon had commented on your blog, considering he was with you on the trip. In light of that, I thought I'd comment on this one: great trip--it was great to catch up after a long time, great to see that you that you're happy as ever and great that GRS has eased nicely into laugh-happy retirement. See you soon ole' boy.
Temple of Hatshepsut The Temple of Hatshepsut is all the more wonderous when one learns that ALL the potable water was brought in a distance of 8 miles from the construction site! The bodies of the workers were buried in the surrounding mountainside. A trip to Luxor was surely a one-way ticket!
Can't wait to see your pictures from pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
Hullo travellers! Wow!!this is beautiful!!!!....I havent been everywhere ...buts its on my list....in the meantime we travel through you Adam !!!!
Take care.....
Adam, nice to see you back on the road. I enjoyed your trip through Nepal and Vietnam, and Jordon looks great too. That's a place I didn't explore in my own youthful travels in the East. I'll check your blog to see how it's going, so keep writing. Nice photos too. I saw your Mom and Aunt Mary last weekend in Ventura, a hilarious visit as always. Much buzz about your India adventure. Looking forward to future blogs and photos of that part of your travels. Travel safe!! Sam
Gorgeous place! Beautiful pictures. I love the first one.. its my favorite. Mysterious, fascinating and absolutely enchanting.
ps: "IndiaNA Jones" honey! I know you are missing India! lol Well, someone here is missing you very very much too ;-)
Best yet So I think that's the best blog yet. Quick question - how did you go about booking the trip - independently (and if so where / when did you book) or through an agent?
Great job! Want to share what I just wrote to your mother. I've been reading and enjoying your blog and the photographs since Chicago.
"Just read Adam's blog. It was, literally, a breath of fresh air. He writes so well, he takes the reader with him. I know you miss him, but granting him this experience is the greatest gift a parent can give. He is a beautiful man, inside and outside. What a good job you have done!"
By the way, I believe your literary abilites are at or near that of a professional. Maybe explore the career possiblities.
Hope to see you when you come home.
Love, Mary (Your mom's friend)
Mom and Mary and the East coast family First--your photographs are beyond gorgeous! That's it; your calling is to photograph the world!
I had a blast with Elizabeth and Mary. What happens when 3 women with STRONG personalities live together for nine days? Laughter and love all day and half the night. They met a dozen cousins here in New England and more in Florida..someday, you too??
THANKS buddy! Eric, thanks for the kind words. Nepal is amazing and the activities offered here are right up my neck of the woods. It's impossible not to take beautiful photos as this whole country is just stunning. I hope Hastings is treating you well, good luck and cya sometime next year! - Adam
Aunt Mikki Thanks for the suggestions. I certainly agree with you that teaching is very much a learning experience. Along with learning how to teach English as a second language, the conversations I do have with the students has already taught be a great deal. I've come to realize that teaching is actually a great exchange of ideas and thoughts between a teacher and students that benefits all. - Adam
On teaching English My experience teaching English (7 years) starting as a 20 year old right out of college taught me that teaching is a LEARNING experience. First learn, then teach, then learn all kinds of things from your students. Obviously your learning experiences are awesome! I never taught English as a second language ( unless you count teenage slang as a first language) but the focus on conversation helped me immensely as I've tried to perfect some Italian, learn French (impossible!), Spanish and Romanian. ENJOY! Thanks for sharing.
Scuba Instructor Zalk Glad to see that someone has responded to my pleas of desparation. Thanks for the link. Hope all is well back in the US of A. I'll make sure to tell His Holiness that Zalk says hello.
Sounds Awesome Hey Mcleod Ganj sounds awesome, and the photos are great. Zack and I had a single English teaching experience in China, and it didn't really go that well. It is with this in mind that I send you to the best website around, according to all of those giving souls, whom I met along the way. eslcafe.com has all the games and tips you'll need to do your new work! Keep on keeping on, and have fun with the Dalai Lama.
Hello everyone and thanks for checking out my travel blog.
It feels strange to think that it's been nearly 14 months since I left home in California. Over the course of that time I've had some truly incredible experiences that have touched my life in the most rewarding of ways. It's those special moments when I've witnessed such unabashed warmth and generosity from complete strangers, spent time with other delightful travelers, or when I've just stopped to appreciate how beautiful this world really is. In light of the recent passing away of a good friend from back home, I am once again r... full info
