Prague 10/13-10/16

Prague, like Venice is another one of those cities where you just can't take a horrible picture. Unlike the people there, it is really the most beautiful medieval city. I'm glad I didn't come here until toward the ending of my trip.

Venice to Vienna 10/12

I have to say, the scenic views from Venice to Vienna were probably the most beautiful. Fall was the perfect time of year to travel. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures when we were traveling through the Austrian Alps. There was too much drama going on at the time. Switching from train-bus-train because of all these railway problems. Typical for us.

Venice, Italy 10/10-10/12

Not the place to come to if you have a shit load of luggage. It was a complete nightmare getting to the hotel. But, I have to say it was totally worth it. This is the kind of place wanna-be photographers need to come. You don't have to know shit about photography to take a decent picture. Like in Rome, the food wasn't all that fabulous, but the wine was good. I managed to escape Venice without falling into a canal.

Rome, Italy 10/7-10/10

Rome was kind of a blur, perhaps because the wine was so good. I have to say I wasn't impressed with the food like I thought I'd be. I definitely didn't spend enough time here.

Cairo, Egypt 9/29-10/6

Cairo was literally a last minute decision for us. It was never on our travel route. As soon as we accepted the fact that we weren't going to the Greek Islands we purchased our tickets bound for Africa. 15 hours later we were in Cairo. This was one of the most liveliest cities (especially at night) I've ever seen, partially due to the fact that we were there toward the end of Ramadan.

View of The Nile River from our hotel balcony.

Falafel's - Perhaps one of the best I've had. We ate at this place about four times while we were there. The food was amazing, but what was more amazing was the cost. Cheap, cheap.

Stuffed grape leaves - Definitely the best I've had.

Pyramids at Giza - Never thought I'd be riding a camel through the Sahara Desert.

Sphinx

Khan el-Khalili Bazaar

Khan el-Khalili Bazaar

Here's a picture I got off of Yahoo after I heard of the bomb blast on February 22 that killed a teenager at the same Khan el-Khalili bazaar. How bazaar.

Athens, Greece 9/26

Athens was one of my favorite destinations on this trip. It wasn't necessarily the most beautiful, but overall it was the best. The food, the people, the culture - I just loved it all! And if I loved Athens as much as I did, I can't even imagine what the Greek Islands must be like. I guess visiting the islands just wasn't meant to be. We found ourselves trapped once again. The ferry service shut down, but this time because of bad weather. Oh well. I'm not done with Greece yet, I'll be back.

How many cops have you seen in the states look like these three? In Athens, they ALL look like this.
