Random Excerpts

For the next few minutes you stand out there on the boat’s deck transfixed at the view, with the proximity of the Niagara Falls crashing down right in front of you. Add to this, water rushing all around and spraying into your eyes and face from all directions…so much of it in fact, that you almost feel one with the Falls for a mesmerizing moment or two.

South of Mexico City lies one of mankind’s greatest architectural treasures, Teotihuacán. Translated to mean Creation of the Place of Gods, it is the ancient city of temples and pyramids started in 100 BC and completed some 150 to 200 years later. As you walk into the city’s main avenue, you cannot help but feel the scale of power the place must have had at its peak.

Random Excerpts

Imagine: there you are with the wind in your face, riding along on your bike without a care in the world. As you ride along, you take in the wonderful island scenery of temples, beaches, forest and coastline when from out of nowhere you spot…a giant Golden Buddha.

Winding itself through mountains like a slithery snake, the way the Wall naturally relates to the landscape around it is a marvel in itself…so immense is China’s Great Wall, that it is the only man-made construction that can be seen in its entirety from the Moon.
