#Luxor is steeped in history. Known formerly as Thebes, it served as a former capital of #Egypt and is sometimes called the world's greatest "open-air museum", as it houses impressive sites like the Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, and Hatsepshup Temple. #TravelingTuesdays

It was a thrill to sail down a part of the #NileRiver in #Egypt recently. The world’s longest river is also one of the world’s most important bodies of water since much of it flows through such an arid region. #TravelingTuesdays

The amazing and majestic #PyramidsofGiza in #Egypt, the last remaining of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World still standing. Very thankful to have seen it!

Today we had the opportunity to visit the incredible temples of #AbuSimbel in #Egypt. They are true masterpieces, and ancient (and also modern) marvels to behold! #TravelingTuesdays

Though brief, we once had a chance to visit #Tangier. We ventured across the Strait of Gibraltar by ferry from Spain to visit this vibrant and captivating city for a day back in 2017. It was a nice introduction to #Morocco and we hope to see more of this Maghreb country someday! #TravelingTuesdays

#Colonia is arguably the most beautiful town in #Uruguay. Situated along the #RioDeLaPlata and inscribed as a #UNESCOWorldHeritage site, it is full of history and charm. Really thankful to have had the opportunity to visit! #TravelingTuesdays

#PuntaDelEste is a lovely seaside city in #Uruguay located where the #RioDeLaPlata opens up to the Atlantic Ocean. It has a number of cool sites like #LaMano - the hand in the sand sculpture, and #Casapueblo, the labyrinthian home (and now museum) of Carlos Paez Vilaro. #TravelingTuesdays

I first had the opportunity to visit #Uruguay for two weeks in 2006 as part of an amazing #FulbrightHaysFellowship educational experience, then returned with Chris in 2010. Truly a special place! These pics are from #Montevideo, the country's capital city along the #RioDeLaPlata. #TravelingTuesdays

It was many years ago that I visited #Brazil, but it was a truly "lindo maravilhoso" experience! Beautiful country, wonderful people, and amazing sites are forever emblazoned in my memories of fantastic places like #RiodeJaneiro, #Salvador, #Olinda, #Manaus and #TheAmazon. #TravelingTuesdays

#Tavira is a lovely city in the #Algarve region of southern #Portugal. When we took this trip, Tavira wasn't on our original itinerary, but we had the good fortune of stopping here. The city dates back to the Bronze Age and has a distinct Moorish influence too. A true delight! #TravelingTuesdays

#Sintra is another beautiful and historic spot to be found within #Portugal. Located in relative close proximity to Lisbon, it is a designated as a #UNESCOWorldHeritage site for good reason. Situated along the mountains, it is enriched with palaces, gardens, and a refined charm. #TravelingTuesdays

#Eswatini is a small, mountainous, picturesque country surrounded on 3 sides by South Africa. Still known as #Swaziland when we visited there in 2016, we were treated to some beautiful vistas and local cultural songs and dances during our time there. #TravelingTuesdays

We were fortunate enough to visit the island of #Lombok while in #Indonesia. It was equally beautiful and impressive as its more famous Balinese neighbor. We will remember the kind people here, along with our exciting ventures through terraced rice fields and #RinjaniNationalPark. #TravelingTuesdays

When we went to #Indonesia, we had the good fortune of visiting two of its beautiful islands, including the magnificent island of #Bali. We had heard so many positive things about Bali leading up to our visit, and we now know why it is considered such a special place! #TravelingTuesdays

Many moons ago (as you can see from these photos, it was still in the days of pre-digital photography 😉), I had a wonderful opportunity to visit the incredible country of #Japan, seeing #Miyajima, #Kyoto, #Hiroshima, #Osaka, & #Tokyo along the way. I hope someday to return! #TravelingTuesdays

For this week's #TravelingTuesdays installment, it's back to #Greece and to the magnificent island of #Santorini. The physical geography of this volcanic island is impressive, as is its cultural landscape and history, not to mention beautiful sunsets. A truly beautiful place in this world!

One of my most recent adventures (just this past MLK holiday weekend) was to the enchanting city of #LaHabana in the beautiful country of #Cuba. Home to historic squares, Hemingway tales, a plethora of vintage cars, and many other gems, it is indeed a very special place! #TravelingTuesdays
