A Bit of a Preface

This time around I wasn’t to keen on doing a blog, I thought it might be interesting, but it was a bit of a difference. I was interested in Egypt because it was Egypt, with the pyramids and the enormous historical and cultural significance not only to our people, but to people all over the world.  Egypt, of importance to the fathers of our nation, while lost on many people of the present. So that was Egypt.

Travelling in and around Europe and Northern Africa, then maybe onward might not be as much of a trip gathering that type of information - but more of a personal journey, at least the first time around. So most of this blog will be dedicated to family and friends more interested in keeping up with our progress and what is going on with us and less about any cultural artifacts, except their impact on me or us. This time, Candice has agreed to do half of the writing, which is really important, since she came up with the idea of the blog to begin with, let’s see if she keeps up on that one. Other than that I will be sharing plenty of photos and tips about the places we visit and first up outside of America is Paris, France. Bonjour.
