Hatshepsut – the person and her legacy – came into my radar during a college class in Old Testament Bible Archaeology. A visit to her temple was high on my To Do list as we traveled to Egypt’s Valley of The Kings (and Queens!) on our 2024 Viking Nile River Cruise.
In its setting at the foot of a sheer limestone cliff-face, Hatshepsut’s Temple is an imposing and stunning sight. Photos in travel and art history books do not begin to do it justice.
Our long-awaited travel adventure to China was everything we had hoped – and more! Our 3 week trip was filled with cultural immersion, unexpected experiences, along with visits to anticipated sites such as the Great Wall and Terra Cotta Warriors. We circumnavigated the entire globe via airplane! This post is the key that unlocks entrance to my China blogs. Enjoy!
The Great Wall of China snakes across northern China for thousands of miles. It carries with it centuries of Chinese history and lore. A visual symbol of China’s historic detachment and sense of vulnerability, it is one of the world’s most popular tourist attractions! A highlight of our 3 week trip to China, It is tas impressive and stunning as it claims to be.
In a visit to Arles France, one can experience the spirit of van Gogh and the power of ancient Rome! Our Viking cruise was perfect to just walk ashore while we lived on the river!
Avignon is a quaint medieval town filled with history and culture. Once the center of Christendom.its Papal Palace is a highlight of the city.
