Hi there everyone;

Loved to catch up on the all pics.
Thanks everyone for sharing.
In here we do not have snow, to see it it's rare
and one has to drive some couple of hours for it
and be lucky when getting there to enjoy it,
so it's always nice to see pics of snow.

Susan, looks VERY yummy your bread!!
Shirley, what a fantastic trip
your daughter must be doing, great site too.
That's the kind of going around's I love the most
my idea of "vacations" though I would skip
some of that "ferocious" wild life.

My cam been having ON's and OFF's too ...
It seems to work just when it feels like it.
Anyway sometimes I've been lucky
and this one is from last weekend on another town;
it's a pic/silhouette of one of the most
ancients castle built around here
around 1000 years ago
on a town a a bit North from here.



Hugs.

Hi Linda, Hi Maria...Welcome. Maria, that picture is so great. The way it is laid out is so different with the relationship of the foreground like that. Lisa, you rpics are always so magnificent. Nothing compares to Southern California. I have been having trouble upoading the pics to my website and there are too many for here. So I am going to find one of the best of the Cape May houses and put it on.

Beth...have you tried using photobucket?

Welcome, Linda! We're always happy when we make someone smile. That's the best!

Lisa, your pictures are ALWAYS beautiful. I'm not a good picture-taker.

Wow, Maria! Is the castle haunted? Do they do tours?

Darn, I'm gonna grab that bread right out of my puter. I am starving!

women shopping...syria

i was standing on the roof of the Castle of the Knights sometimes referred to as the Castle of the Kurds or Hospitallers or Le Krark des Chevaliers...yep, one castle can have that many names in syria...anyway, i looked down and spotted this shepherd herding his sheep down the middle of the road.

gsg

this is the castle. inside you can see a HUGE round stone table where the Knights of the Roundtable actually ate.

relatives of mine in the ancient syrian village my grandparents emigrated from. my family is christian, not muslim. the old women who are widows dress like this. the younger women dress as we do.

two views looking across the street from my hotel in dubai.

my cousin who lives in abu dhabi drove up to dubai while i was there. she was the first relative i had ever met from the middle east and i was the first she had met from the U.S. it still gives me goosebumps when i think of the moment we saw each other. we have no relatives in this country. my grandparents were the only ones who immigrated to the U.S.

These are amazing pictures! So much history! When did you vist the Middle East?

If you visit Israel you will have to look up Ravedeb. Wouldn't that be neat!

You say you have NO relatives here. Meeting your cousin for the first time must have been so exciting.

You weren't finished posting the pics and when I came back I was absolutely amazed. You must have had a wonderful trip.

before entering a mosque in Homs, Syria, they made us put these things on (notice my MALE cousin was able to go in, in his regular clothes.pffft) I'm standing to the left of him. You can see a shoe rack far right side of the picture. I can't remember what we had to put on our feet before we went in, but shoes were not allowed.

The gold souk (market) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Dubai is situated near Qatar at the bottom of the Saudi Arabian Penninsula on the Persian Gulf.

this is possibly the worst picture taken of me EVER...eyes closed and hair suffering the effects of 120 degree weather and INDESCRIBABLE humidity.
