Jennifer, In looking at the traffic, I couldn't help but think that the horse in the video had to have nerves of steel! Glad you are back with so many great stories. If you do travel to Cambodia, I think you will find it very beautiful. I have a cousin (21!) who traveled there and it was her favorite place. She is now in South Korea on a Fulbright Scholarship and she hopes to return to Cambodia before returning to the U.S. next year.
Looking good Jennifer!! Didin't you just love going into the pyramid and appreciating the fresh outside air! I'm enjoying your writing. Have you been to the perfume shops yet? Take care!
Now that's going native! Jennifer, you don't mess around, do you? I am truly impressed and appalled at the same time about your idea of a vacation. I've been to Jordan, but not out there! The panorama looking into Saudi Arabia looks like several other rocky wastelands I've seen in what more enlightened people call "Southwest Asia." Wouldn't it look great under a carpet of lush green grass? And finally, don't cell phones ring at the darndest times? Keep safe, and may God bless you as you relax at the resort.
So honored! I am puffed up with pride at your having taken a picture of a "gifts shop" featuring the name of Indiana Jones. I hope you were able to purchase something tacky there for yourself. The selection was undoubtedly vast. (I think I will now have to atone for being prideful earlier.)
Isn't Petra a Titular Archdiocese? This Mendota priest wonders whether someone named Martin is trying to incardinate there. Anyway, I hope the toothless Bedouin helped you clean up your car a bit. Have they stopped making references to the Indiana Jones movie yet? Such remarks were still going strong at Petra in 1995. It's still beautiful. I'm glad you're sharing your thoughts with us.
Do You Get the Recipe? Just as I was being convinced to put Cairo at the top of places to avoid (you DID get your shots before you left?), you had to throw in the date ravioli. My only question is, entree or dessert?
Jet-setting between the US and Singapore for the next eight months, with side trips to Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Hoping to return by way of the Trans-Manchurian railway!... full info
