My Favourite Place in the World

Hi everyone,
I have been MIA for a little while, still recovering from our fantastic event at Hotel Arts.  Thank you all who made it out for a some Glamour & Gold!
To continue on with my Travel pic challenge, I have picked a place that is my most favourite location in the world.  I was going to leave this one until last, however it has been in the news so much lately, I wanted re-live the experience I had there.  And also send some positive energy to the people of the country.  Now being an archaeologist by education and at heart, you may be able to guess where I am talking about before I show pictures...

No....nothing?

Okay....it's of course Egypt...
This was the ultimate trip for a passionate archaeologist and wanna be Egyptologist... I am only hoping that the change of government does not affect the protection of antiquities and preservation of the most amazing, beautiful ancient sites.  I wish the best for the people of Egypt and I hope that democracy is the saving grace for all.

Now, if you happen to travel to Egypt, which I'm guessing won't be anytime soon, however I said I would give you a little tip for each place I have travelled:
If you go to Cairo and are in the mood for some great shopping, bargaining and food...head to Islamic Cairo, where the huge markets will blow your mind and if you are not careful your wallet too!  My favourite place to eat was a little cafe at the entrance (sorry cannot remember the name...it was almost 9 years ago already!) it had a huge, amazingly delicious falafel that weighed over a pound and only cost 1 Egyptian Pound.  Now, I hope it is still there because I will never forget that falafel!

We also met at random, an awesome cab driver that we stumbled upon who has been featured in Lonely Planet and has albums upon albums of letters, signatures, pictures etc. from all of the people he has showed around Egypt.  This guy was amazing, we did not get to travel too far with him as we were leaving Cairo...I am still searching for him and will give you an update if I find him online anywhere.  Such a happy man...I hope that he still tours the city collecting stories and making friends.

Well, I'm out for now...let me know where your next trip is...I love to hear stories!

Arizona and The Green Bay Packers!

Hi everyone!  To carry on with the travel picture challenge that I started last week, I'm going to post a few pics from Arizona, the reason I picked this blog to show some Arizona pics is because last year in Phoenix I went to my first NFL game...now if you know me or are getting to know me...I LOVE Football and I love the Green Bay Packers even more!  And to make a connection with the Super Bowl that is happening this Sunday (4:30pm MST) I thought I would post the pics of me at the Packers game!  I hope everyone enjoys and remember, send me your pics...I want to know where you travel!  Post on the Belo Sol Facebook Fan Page too!

 University of Phoenix Stadium...it's amazing and there's my boy Aaron Rodgers!

 Ok, so there are wayyyy bigger fans then me out there...This is outside of the stadium, great tailgating, shopping and bars.  An awesome place to hangout on game day!

 Yuma, Arizona has amazing little hidden spots, like the date farms (actually they are in California, but essentially on the border!) Sun Garden Date Farm makes amazing date shakes and you can try 6 different types of dates.  Sooo good!

 Although it is hard to see, there are actually miles of rock writing in the desert.  People have been writing their names in the desert using dark lava rock since 1960.  It's a pretty amazing site to see, the only type of graffiti that I can handle!

Yuma is surrounded with mountains, desert and every fruit and vegetable crop you can imagine!  It's truly a beautiful place to travel to.
Beijos,
Tricia P.S.  Go PACKERS!!!
