Rameses Gateway -

Yafo was at one time, an Egyptian settlement. The Israeli Antiquities Authority has uncovered what is called the Ramases Gateway - and is in the process of reconstructing the site. The Arch with heiroglyphs are replicas of the artifacts found at this site. The stone walls seen are the original.

Frankfurt - not another Airport Photo!

No. Not worth it. But the Airport in Frankfurt has really improved from when I was there in the mid 90's. A long layover in the Executive Lougue, a little coffee, a little sponge cake (for the "Young Frankenstein" movie fans I know). It was not too bad.

Race to Washington

The 1st leg of my journey took me to Washington DC. Seems this time of year a lot of people are racing to Washington. When I first looked to the left I saw this plane and people waving at me. I coudn't believe it. Were they Democrate or Republican? Probably Libertarian considering how close they were. I grabbed my camera from the overhead to take their picture, and suddendly they were at a safe distance.
