Visiting the Taj Mahal, the COOLEST THING EVER! Its probably just the hype around it, but it really is an unbelievable feeling to be standing right there.

A visit to the Istanbul Archeology Museum is a must – fascinating artifacts dating back 5-6 thousand (!!) years ago, uncovered as recently as a few years ago when the city began construction of Marmaray rail link under the Bosphorous.
Merry Christmas from the southern Myanmar town of Mawlamyien. Not much in a way of celebrations going on that we saw — although we did talk to one pastor. Regardless a perfectly pleasant day.
Taking our first Thailand train in Sura Thani, Thailand. Yes, it’s not 4 o’clock, but it’s close enough 🙂
Whistle blow tour of the Balkans continues with a one day stop in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. Downtown is quite fascinating, if controversial. Apparently the current government has recently embarked on a nation building campaign by populating the main town areas with statues of ‘national’ heroes – resulting in a bit of an amusement park…
We love playing tourist in our town of Washington D.C. – it’s not unusual for us to take a day off and wander about the national monuments, go to a museum, have a fancy lunch, and stop by the White House just to take it in. D.C. is a beautiful city, and we love it…
