The trip I called traveling in the USA in winter was not in my plans, I had little time to accomplish it, but I consider it one of the most successful. After being there in the summer, I had many reasons for wanting to return to those parts in the winter. Why traveling in the…

Pieces of the Italy Trail Monte Cucco is along the Sentiero Italia, which is a trail composed of a set of (connected) paths that crosses the Alpine arc and then descends along the Apennines, essentially traversing the ridge of Italy, and then includes continuations in Puglia; Sicily and Sardinia.

Jerash Often not part of classic Jordan travel tours, while Jerash is a must-visit. Even the hour-long drive to get there from Amman was fun. The 15 bus(collective minivan) leaves when it is full. A little in and a little out of the door is a guy who organizes the ups and downs, calling for…

These movies were a classic in my summer afternoons during summer vacation. There was always some unclothed hero or demi-god fighting with ugly and evil monsters. Going to Crete…

Visiting a Mayan site: Tikal Of course, another goal of the trip was to visit a Mayan site; we saw 2 nice big ones. In our Western ignorance, many people cannot distinguish between the various pre-Columbian civilizations, the most important of which were Tikal is Guatemala’s main Mayan center; many temples have been recovered from…
