Finding Meaning in Luxor
The sun beat down as temperatures reached the upper 90’s. Sweat dripped off us as we hurried from shady spot to shady spot long the nearly empty streets. The heat even sapped the energy from the few, endlessly persistent touts who still roamed around looking for tourist dollars.

Oh, the joy of a sunset. A sundowner is one of the favorite part of any day of ours, and we have experienced thousands of spectacular ones throughout the world. The end of one day, transforming into the night before the cycle begins again is consistently magical. This one, from the scenic coast of Oregon.

For this frigid day in Oregon, I fondly think back on this serene summer scene from the San Juan Islands.
Finding Solitude in India
No, You did not read that wrong. This post truly is about finding solitude in India, an oxymoron to be sure. India is chaos personified. Everywhere one turns there are bustling throngs of people, thousands of cars and rickshaws, camels, cows, and endless shops and spice markets.

Foto Friday from intriguing Angkor Wat. A favorite part of exploring this immense collection of temples was finding all of the secret little pathways leading to gorgeously carved discoveries.
Savoring Santa Fe
I have always been a bit fascinated by the Southwestern United States. Although I had traveled through the area several times as a child, for some reason my parents never found the area interesting enough to actually spend time in. When Jim and I decided to take an extended road trip around the U.S. a couple of years ago, we made sure to include plenty of time for the National parks, Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and, especially, Santa Fe.

We have a fairly substantial shell collection from our travels around the world, but this partially damaged sand dollar was particularly appealing to me.

At the Tombs of the Emperors temple complex, just south of Hue on the Perfume River, has some fantastic temples offering exquisite detail. If you find yourself in Hue, taking the very interesting, albeit touristy, cruise down the Perfume River is a must.

Lately I’ve been spending a great deal of time daydreaming about Africa. While I love many places I’ve traveled to, Africa holds a very special place in my heart, and I miss it deeply. Here, the view from the top of the sand dunes of Namibia at sunrise…. pure magic.
