Uzbekistan: The Architecture

I’ve decided to split the pictures of Uzbekistan up into two sets. The first will highlight the architecture. I was so excited to see the architecture as I used it repeatedly in history class to show the merging of cultures along the silk road. Samarkand at one time had been the capital of Timur the […]

Moscow celebrates its 870th Birthday.

This weekend we took advantage of Moscow celebrating its 870th birthday. For the occasion they shut down one of the major streets down town and put together a huge festival that was a mix of sports, food, replicas of famous moments in history. It felt like walking through a massive children’s museum. Much of what […]

London Trip

A couple of weeks ago we headed to London for a long weekend. We wanted to explore a city we hadn’t been to in a while and thought we would leisurely explore the museums and take in some of the sites. We did some of the touristy things we had done before such as Big […]

Winter seems to finally have broken so itwas time to crawl out of the apartment and into the light and warmth. Caitlin was out with friends so I figured I might as well go out with my camera and take some pictures. I got a chance to explore some new places as well as go back […]

Nile Cruise

From Luxor we got on a cruise down the Nile. The cruise was 5 days and four nights on a dahabiya. A dahabiya is a river sailboat, the one we were to ride on had no motor and relied on its sails or a tug boat to pull it up the river if there was […]

Luxor: Egypt

Prior to going to Egypt, I spoke to a few friends who had recently lived in Cairo to ask their opinion on safety. Their response was a resounding, “Its fine, especially in all the touristy sites” or “The biggest annoyance will be the traffic.” So with this information in hand I proceeded to buy tickets and […]

Cairo

After Greece we headed to Cairo. As will be the theme with all the posts from this winter break, we continued to see old stuff. Cairo is a pretty massive city and we had a limited amount of time, so I booked a driver and guide to show us around. The first day we spent checking out some […]
