I can’t remember the name of this town JIll and I visited, but it is on the coast, near Málaga.

My mom came and visited me in Granada over the Spring Break.

The great thing about Europe is that it is so easy to travel to numerous countries.  Several of us, including Jill, took a road trip to Lisbon, Portugal, where we enjoyed this castle.  Lisbon looks a lot like San Francisco.

My good friend Jill and I visited a small village in the Alpujarras,a mountain rage outside of Granada.

Having lunch at a park called Al-Azhar park that sites in medieval Cairo atop what was once a gigantic landfill.

Here I am in the apartment of T.H. and Sybille Culhane in Maadi, Cairo, posing in front of a beautiful solar photovoltaic panel.
