Thanksgiving Abroad

This is the first Thanksgiving I have spent away from my family. I have been blessed to have met such great people while living here in Abu Dhabi. Since we are all teachers and had to work on Thanksgiving we decided to celebrate and break bread together on Black Friday.

Welcome Home...Egypt (part I)

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Egypt with one of my girlfriends K'asha. This was definitely a last minute getaway but I had the most amazing time of my life. As soon as we stepped off the plane and the Egyptians greeted us with a warm "Welcome Home",  I knew this would be an unforgettable trip.

Thanks to Mrs. Annette and Mr. John, our own personal tour guide and driver  for 4 days was already arranged for us prior to our arrival. We climbed some of the oldest pyramids in Egypt, visited tons of museums, rode camels through the desert, cruised the Nile river on feluccas, ate authentic Egyptian cuisine and went on a day trip to  Alexandria, Egypt. The shopping is insane by the way!

Out of 700 pictures, it was hard trying to figure out which ones would make the final cut. Egypt is by far one of the most beautiful countries that I have visited. 


Stay tuned for Part II...My photo shoot with the Sphinx!
