http://helenstravelblog.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. South Africa, Last Day. South Africa, the conference. Monday, February 23, 2009. South Africa, Day 2. After spending about half an hour just looking at them and snapping a gazillion of pictures, we finally left Boulder Beach to travel further down the peninsula to the southwestern most point of Africa- -Cape of Good Hope. Actually, they are considered a hazard in Cape Town, and there are warning signs everywhere. After snapping some pics at the Cape of Good Hope, we went to th...

Helen's Travels: October 2008
http://helenstravelblog.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 25, 2008. St Petersburg, Part 4. Thursday, October 16, 2008. St Petersburg, Part 3. St Petersburg, Part 2. In the evening, we took a walk around the city after dinner, going to perhaps my favorite church building in Russia: the Church of Christ the Savior. The domes are so unique that they look like they are made of mozaic, not of stone. A visit to one more famous landmark that evening: St Isaac Cathedral. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). St Petersburg, Part 4. St Petersburg, Part 3.

Saturday, September 4, 2010. Cambodia: More local attractions. Baekong Hill (with view of Angkor Wat in the trees). Cambodia: The field trip. Our next stop was a visit with a Fishery and Forestry Community as well as some local government officials- -and the meeting was in a pagoda where the monks were chanting prayers, people were having lunch, several kids were playing, and two dogs were fighting…again, all in a pagoda, that certainly appeared the center of social activity in this small community.

http://helenstravelblog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2009. Birdhouse on one of the trees near our cabin, which is occupied every spring with new tenants. View of the Russian countryside (I used to swim in this river every summer growing up). With my bro (that's right, the t-shirt was a gift from me and the color is not accidental- -Go Celtics! Finally, I was able to sneak up on the poor seagull and take some pictures of her on her nest. Friday, June 26, 2009. Red Square and other sites. St Basil's Cathedral in Red Square.

Helen's Travels: April 2010
http://helenstravelblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 24, 2010. Our next stop was Ellis Island, another very historical and significant place in the US history. Unfortunately, we had very little time there before having to be on our bus back to DC, but I managed to take a quick audio tour of the immigrants' route through the Ellis island facilities: first, the registry room, then health and mental inspection, and then off to various destinations in the US. After a quick Mexican dinner in Hell's Kitchen, we quickly walked to the Palace Theate...

Saturday, September 4, 2010. Cambodia: The field trip.

Our next stop was another pagoda where we actually had lunch! Cambodia: The field trip.

Helen's Travels: Cambodia: Sightseeing
http://helenstravelblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/cambodia-sightseeing.html
Saturday, September 4, 2010. After exploring Bayon, we went to a series of structures around the Royal Palace: the Elephant Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King, and the Baphuon Temple. All of these ruins still had many remaining reliefs left for tourist to enjoy and take in. We even climbed on top of several temples, which was a good challenge for my fear of heights. After a delicious lunch of Khmer food (fish soup- -yum! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Cambodia: More local attractions.

Helen's Travels: January 2010
http://helenstravelblog.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 22, 2010. The “real” African experience. Our trip to Lagos, the former capital, was also adventurous. The domestic terminal in Abuja is quite a zoo: lots of people; one gate for all departures; no ID shown at any point; water and other liquids can be brought in; you walk to the airplane and on the way identify your luggage, then get patted down before entering the plane; and the best part…the seating is not assigned! Friday, January 15, 2010. More impressions from Nigeria.
