India I (Rajasthan), December 2007-January 2008 : K and I traveled to Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Jaipur and a few places between during our time in Rajasthan. It was a blast.

India II (Agra, Varanasi, Khajuraho), December 2007-January 2008 : K and I traveled to Rajasthan as well as Agra, Varanasi and Khajuraho for a little over three weeks. The Rajasthan portion of the trip is in a separate gallery. We hope this will be the first of several trips to India.

Ethiopia, September-October 2006 : From Rome I flew to Addis Ababa, then by car to Bahir Dar in the historical area to see the remarkable lake churches there. Next came the former royal capital of Gonder and ancient city of Axum, where I stayed for the Meskel festival. On my way back south by bus I stopped at several churches and monasteries in Tigrai. I then spent a few days at Lalibela, whose monolithic churches are perhaps Ethiopia's most recognizable sights, before finishing the trip far to the east in Harar. The country fully deserves its reputation as among the most culturally and aesthetically rich in Africa.

Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, June 2006 : Flight from Istanbul to Sanaa, then about two weeks traveling, from Wadi Hadramout in the east to Al-Hudayda on the sweltering west coast but with special attention to Sanaa and the beautiful mountaintop villages around Sanaa and in the Haraz range. Then, having scored a transit visa for Saudi Arabia, I headed up to Jeddah and to the Nabatean ruins at Madain Saleh (Al-Ula) for a few days before ending the trip at the Nabatean capital of Petra, in Jordan. Apart from a nasty wrench to my ankle, I had a great trip and got further confirmation that Arabs are among the most hospitable and welcoming people in the world.
