Just outside of Pforzheim in Southern Germany.

At the Berlin Wall in 2007.  My first trip to Berlin was in 1992.  What a huge difference!

One of those blurry photos we are so famous for in this family.  Marco and I checking out Berlin together in 2009. It's art okay?

Marco at Legoland in 2009 when we were checking out Berlin as a place to live.

Berlin, Germany. The tower from where we  broadcast Gateway Berlin Radio.

Three-World Headquarters in Berlin.  My office is on the 2nd floor.

Heading West out of Berlin.  Nice and GREEN!!!!!

It's GREEEEEEN I tell ya!

Marco and I visiting the famous door where Protestant Reformer Martin Luther became famous after being the first personto hand out Halloween Candy to visiting children.  It's a famous door!

Lovely downtown Wittenberg.

Wittenberg 2009.

I look like a loser, but Jamie and Marco look cool.  Marco's preparing for his own album cover on this one.

Pictures of Paris

The lovely facade of the Gare du Nord train station.  I always try to stay in Arrondissemont 10 near Gare du Nord.

These pictures were taken on a lovely day.

Standing in the middle of the Champs-Élysées.

Inside Galeries Lafayette.

A bit more posh than your average mall in the U.S.

L'Opera.

Pont Neuf.  A romantic place to go with Jamie.

Notre Dame.  Home of the fighting Irish.  Just kidding m-kay?

Jamie's favorite Crepe stand. Yummy.

The Pantheon in Paris.  Here lies the remains of many of France's greatest men including Victor Hugo, Louis Pasteur, and Pepe Le Pew.

Maybe the best feeling in the world.  "Good morning, Paris!"

Les Halles on the way to the Paris CHOG.

L'hotel de Ville on the way to the Paris CHOG.

The Paris CHOG meets inside this historic church.

The Latin Quarter.

One of the few places in the world where I will make it a point to sit down and watch the sun set.  Monmartre.

Quite possibly my favorite place in the world.  Sacre Coeur overlooking Paris.  If only I knew how to work my camera.

Pictures of Thailand

Marco's been traveling around the world since he was born.  By the time he was 3 he was an expert traveler.  He was named after Marco Polo--the great traveler who bridged the divide between East and West.

Marco was on his 2nd passport by the time he was 4.

One of the rare decent photos I've ever taken.

Phuket (Kamala) was our home away from home.  This was our family vacation spot.

Marco and an Elephant.

Marco feeding a real elephant.

One of the greatest of all the animals.  The Elephant, I mean.

I love to see the temples in Thailand.

A Theravada Buddhism photo.

The coastline of Phuket on the Andaman Sea.

Marco grew up riding in a lot of Tuk Tuks.

Marco kissed by a monkey in Chiang Mai--Northern Thailand.  A lawsuit is pending.

Marco meets a Giraffe and his tongue.

Bangkok.  Another one of my favorite cities.

Pictures of Lebanon

The view from Mediterranean Bible College. The Mediterranean Bible College in Beirut.

Am I driving through Eastern Kentucky or West Virginia?  No, it's Lebanon.

Downtown Beirut is more lovely than you can possibly imagine.  It used to be called the Paris of the Mediterranean.

These ancient ruins are right in the middle of the city.

Heading into the mountains.  It's only 90 minutes to the Northern, Southern, or Eastern borders from Beirut.  It's a small country.

Is this Eastern Washington or Eastern Oregon?  No, it's Lebanon.

Close to the Border with Syria

I love the mountains of Lebanon and the views they offer.

Along the coast.

The lovely shopping area in the ancient Phoenician city Byblos.  My favorite place thus far.

Is this Santa Barbara, California?  No, but it sure feels like it.  Santa Barbara probably has more Lebanese people.  :)

Beirut from a distance.

Too bad someone doesn't know how to work his camera.  These pictures would be awesome.

Pictures of Russia

One of the greatest moments in all of my travels---entering Red Square for the first time.  The photo doesn't do it justice.  The sky was a deep purple as Kelley and Rhonda took us to the Square.  It was an absolutely stunning sight.  And of course it would have been hard to believe, for most of my life, that the day would come when we would be able to just walk right into Red Square, Moscow.

St. Basil's Cathedral at night.  It looked a lot smaller than I was expecting.  I thought there should be a golf hole behind it...looked like a minature golf set.

Marco and his buddy (and teammate) Dave Simpson.  I'm sure he's a better photographer than I am.

The colors were so vibrant.  That was a big surprise to me, considering our stereotype of Russia being bleak.

One side of Red Square.

Lenin's mausoleum.

The walls of the Kremlin.

GUM department store.

Inside the Kremlin walls.

Near the Museum of History I believe.  Marco liked that place.  He likes history like his Dad.

A photo in the museum commemorating WWII.  Nobody lost more people than Russia in that war.

Even the ceiling makes a bad photographer look good.

Marco riding a pony in Siberia.

Marco in Chelyabinsk, Russia in the foothills of the Ural Mountains.

I've always had a love affair with cathedrals and churches.

In St. Petersburg, formerly known as Leningrad.

Me in front of St. Basil's Cathedral in the daytime.  I scored a 3 under par.

Pictures of Tokyo

High above Tokyo in Tokyo tower.  One of my favorite cities in the world.

Tokyo and Mt. Fuji in the background.

Tokyo Tower.

Below Tokyo Tower.

"The Big Egg" Tokyo Dome.

Marco asleep over Tokyo.

World traveler from a young age.

Ginza at night.

Pictures of Bali

The rice fields of Bali, Indonesia.

Me and Tiny.

Goodbye Bali.

Pictures of India

The Gateway of India in one of my favorite places Bombay (Mumbai).

Near Mother Teresa's Home for the Destitute and Dying in Calcutta (Kolkata).

Mother Teresa's Home for the Dying and Destitute in Calcutta.

My neighborhood in Bombay.  I loved it.

The Colaba neighborhood in Mumbai.  Great place to read the novel Shantaram...one of my favorites.

Near the Colaba slum in Mumbai.

The amazing youth of the India Church of God.  Best worship service ever!  Hands down.  India!

Pictures of Vietnam

Floating down the river in Saigon.

Apocalypse Now.  "The horror...the horror."

The tunnels the Vietcong hid in were incredibly small.  Compare the entrance to this one with my foot.  Unbelievable.

Me heading into the tunnel.

Hot and muggy in Vietnam, but still not as bad as Hong Kong.

The Cao Dai Temple in  Tai Nihn where they worship Confucius, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Muhammed, Buddha, and Victor Hugo.

Cao Dai.

Cao Dai.

A mountain where the Viet Cong and the U.S. troops faced off during the Vietnam War.

Pictures of Singapore

Singapore.  I call it the Miami of Asia.  Same look, same climate--switch the Cubans and Dominicans for Indians and Chinese and you've got Singapore.  I love the skyline.

The famous Sentosa Lion.

I love hanging out at Boat Quay.

I like Clark Quay too, but Boat Quay is my usual hang out place.

You know you are downtown when you see this.

I love the Miami like colors of a lot of Singapore.  And I love the boulevards with the excess foliage which is there to make this tiny island nation/city seem like it has a bit of nature left.

The giant durian fruit.
