Walking Down Delain

That's me, kissing the Great Sphinx of Giza Giza. Ancient burial place for three of Egypt's Pharaohs. It's ancient. It's iconic. It's famous. I've been there. If you have not, you need to GO THERE. Giza is home to the Great Pyramid, which is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that still remains (the others are all lost in time ... the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia). Great Pyramid with Tourist Line Climbing to the Entrance The Ministry of Tourism lets you climb and enter the Great Pyramid. That blew my mind. I climbed up (clinging to the wall the whole time ... I am not fond of heights). This structure is 455 feet tall; we went up maybe 50 of those 455 feet. I did not go inside; my guide explained that it is narrow, hot and steep in there, sort of like going up the arm of the Statue of Liberty ...

This is my new travel blog. I should have started this years ago; I've gone to some pretty cool places. England. Sweden. My Grand Tour of Europe in a Ford Fiesta and a pup tent (France, West Germany, Lichtenstein, Italy, Austria, Switzerland). All that was in the 1980s. A long, long time ago now, but I have great memories of those travels. Then I didn't travel for a very long time. Instead, I got married, had a daughter, got divorced, went to law school (with my then-preteen daughter in tow), and have been running my law practice since 2004. My daughter is now fully grown and off on her own. And, at last, I've started traveling again. This blog is where I will write about and post photos of my past adventures and plans for future adventures.
