Of all the places we visited in Israel, to me, Mount Carmel, was the most beautiful! So much has gone on here, I hardly know where to start! Mount Carmel, (which means mountain of gardens) is mentioned as a “holy mountain,” in Egyptian records from the 16th century BCE. As a “high place,” it had…

Just One Person: The Strawberry Lady
The strawberry lady worked in the strawberry-shaped hut along the pier at Warnemünde, a German port town on the Baltic Sea. There was a festival atmosphere all along the long walk of the pier to the quant village! She was just waiting for someone to step up and buy! If you would like to share…

Stage Two and Off to the Right
On the morning we came into Antalya, Turkey, part of our excursion for the day had been updated to “STRENUOUS.” Hmmm…….I took one look at those mountains and thought maybe it would be better for me to sit this one out and just enjoy a sea day and the view! As we had no official…
Thursday Doors: Termessos National Park; Antalya, Turkey
Something niggled at me to stay on the ship, when we first arrived in Antalya, Turkey. Hubby was not deterred by the planned excursion, so off he went. My last words to him, whenever he sets off alone is, “don’t forget I need some door photos! Did you hear that? I NEED door photos! Not,…

Premium varieties consist largely of chopped dates, pistachios, hazelnuts or walnuts. Traditional varieties are often flavored with rosewater, bergamot, orange, lemon,…
Thursday Doors: Shopping in Bodrum, Turkey
We’re taking a break from the amphitheater, castle, and the museum to go shopping in the Old Town Bodrum Bazaar. Here, shopping consists of new shops in an outdoor setting. Remember the hatches in the columns to insert coverings for the walkways in Ancient Ephesus? That is still done today, to keep the heat off…
Just One Person: The Chestnut Roaster
This time, for Just One Person, I have the Chestnut Roaster in Rome! It was pouring rain and those chestnuts smelled like they were burning! You could smell them from several blocks away! He just carried on, no problem! Was he bored? Was it just a job? Rain or shine same ol’ same ol’? Bringin’…
Jo’s Monday Walk: The Museum of Underwater Archaeology
Today, we are entering the castle! Finally! It now houses the Museum of Underwater Archeology and I was so excited because I wanted to learn more about those pots that were scattered here and there, all over the grounds of the castle! The pieces that I was most interested in, were the pointy bottomed ones…
