Lake Bled is a must-see when you are in Slovenia. Walk around the lake, visit the island or hike up to the castle. And nearby Vintgar Gorge is a treat for any outdoor lover.
My Scandinavian Adventure 2017- Norway: Aurlandsfjellet, Borgund Stave Church, Nigardsbreen glacier (Day 8 & 9)
After spending the evening in Bergen, we packed up the car the next morning and headed for something that we had read about and were SOOO pumped to see- Aurlandsfjellet- the snow road! Our first stop on our way to our destination was the town of Flam. Like our other days of driving, we passed …
My Scandinavian Adventure 2017- Bergen, Norway (Day 7)
We arrived in Bergen, Norway in the evening of June 13 after a full day of hiking, driving and waterfalls (it took about 7 hours to drive from Pulpit Rock where we had camped the evening before) and drove through the main section of town, getting our first glimpse of the harbour and beautiful buildings of …
Summer Adventure 2016- Budapest (part three)
Day three in Budapest and Ray and I decided we would join a walking tour available through the hop-on hop-off bus tour we had bought tickets for. First, we took the bus to St. Stephen’s Basilica, dedicated to the first Hungarian Christian king. Construction on the basilica was from 1851-1905. Inside the church was beautiful. …
Summer Adventure 2016- Budapest (part two)
In my last post about Budapest, Ray and I had fallen in love with the beauty of this city, just look at these pictures of Budapest as the sun went down the night before. Day two we wanted to explore more of the Buda side, specifically the Castle district up on the hill behind where …
Abu Dhabi 6/30/16 (Day five)
Day five I slept late because we were out so late the night before, but Ray had planned for us a desert safari. We got picked up at 5 in a Land Rover type jeep that then drove us out about 45 minutes away from central Abu Dhabi. Of course I know that Abu Dhabi …
Abu Dhabi 6/27-28/16 (day two & three)
My second day in Abu Dhabi was a bit tougher for me because of a serious case of jet lag. It is 8 hours ahead here, and I was texting with some friends while I was trying to fall asleep and THEY were going to bed back home while I was still awake here. When …
Summer Adventure 2016 – Abu Dhabi Day One
I love traveling. Every summer, I try to make sure that I leave the country and have some exciting adventures in the country as well. Many of my adventures have been with students, showing them the world; it’s definitely one of the passions of my life. And a lot of those travels have involved my dear …
European Odyssey- Day Two: Paris, Louvre, Eiffel Tower
Day two of my 40 student teacher-led travels and I woke up bright in early in Paris. No, not actually Paris, I was staying in a suburb of Paris. Well, actually calling it a suburb is a bit of a stretch as well, unless having a 90 commute counts as a suburb, and living in …
Europeen Odyssey- Paris
Day OneWe departed from Atlanta, Georgia at 6pm EST which meant this was going to be one of the roughest flights I’d ever gone on due to the fact that we would arrive in Paris, France at 6am (France time)- which was 12:00am EST; in addition, the moment we landed we would be GO all …
