Suzanne and I are back from our trip to Israel and Egypt. We had a great time, but it taking us a while to get back into the swing of work, and it will probably be a while longer before we get out travel stories and photos posted. Until then, here are some photos from the White Canyon, Sinai, Egypt.
In conjunction with the Ackland Museum’s Picturing the World: Carolina’s Celebrated Photojournalists exhibit, one of the featured photographers, Janet Jarman, gave a talk covering her series of photographs “Crossing: Tale of the Rich North,” for which she followed the life of a single family for more than a decade. Janet was one of classmates and peers at UNC, so I wanted to listen to her speak, and catch up afterwards.
Despite living in Durham, I don’t seem to get back to UNC as often as I could (or should). Suzanne, on the other hand, spends too much time there, and it’s not the place she wants to be when she doesn’t need to be. Tonight she made an exception, and so i picked her up from the Health Sciences campus, and headed up north to the Journalism School. With the UNC (#3) vs. Duke (#2) game set to start in a few hours, the town and campus was full of Carolina blue clad fans milling about in the light drizzle, as well as some Dookies (try not to hate them), making a surreal homecoming of sorts.

Suzanne and I wish everyone a healthy and prosperous new year. Looking back on our posts from 2007, we traveled far and wide, and were lucky to get to spend time with our family and friends. We are hoping to add more in the new year.
Our big news is we will be traveling to Israel and Sinai in February, for the vacation Suzanne has been looking forward to for years.
With our four-year anniversary this week, Suzanne and I were thinking back to our wedding and honeymoon. Also, a number of friends of ours have visited Buenos Aires over the years, so we thought we would take a little time to note some of our favorite attractions.
Follows is a brief list if some shopping and dining recommendations from memory. I will add more when I get a chance to find our old guidebooks to figure out other off the beaten path suggestions. Read more…
Our last full day in Yellow Springs, we met up with Ty and Melanie, friends of ours from Carrboro, now living in California. We last saw them at their home in California in the Spring, and would probably not have seen them again for some time, except they were visiting with Ty’s family in Sydney, Ohio for the holidays. We caught up while walking around Yellow Springs, and investigating the shops, including two artists co-operatives (Yellow Springs Pottery and The Village Artisans Gallery), where we made some purchases.
When it came time for lunch, we decided to try someplace new (for us), and decided to eat at Ye Olde Trail Tavern. Selecting the Tavern as someplace “new†proved to be ironic, since the restaurant occupies the oldest building in Yellow Springs (constructed in 1844), and is believed to be the second oldest existing tavern in Ohio.
