In time of disasters, people come back to religion or spirituals.
My colleagues (from different religions) and I had a wonderful conversation about religious music recently. Here are some of the music we were talking about…

When you ask a person about the oldest structure in the world, many people would immediately think of the enchanting Taj Mahal. Though there are many recorded structures from earlier than 1653, the Taj Mahal comes to mind quickly due to its enchanting architecture and beauty.
A musical day with me
In time of war, music is something else. This might be the strangest post I’ve ever written. I’m writing it with no plan in my head…
Please forgive the mess if any 😀
Puerto Peñasco, Mexico: A Traveler’s Insights
Beaches are a wonderful place to visit, and I don’t think I’ve ever been to a beach that I wouldn’t visit again. After all, who can dislike any beach? What we may dislike is the “crowdedness” or possibly the lack of sea shells. If this is so, Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, also known as Rocky Point, Mexico, might just be calling you. I am truly humbled Mohamad Al Karbi has invited me to tell you all about my first visit to Puerto Peñasco, a small fishing/resort city next to the Sea of Cortez.
MY BEAUTIFUL ALBANIA
First of all I would like to thank Mohamad, for inviting me to be a guest in his blog!
In this post I will write about my country, Albania (Shqipëria).
As I am not sure if you know Albania , I will shortly describe it , being aware that in this post, I cannot write everything about my country.
Hospitality and Humor in Cairo
Mohamed kindly asked me to write a guest post for his blog and I thought you might enjoy some tales from my time in Cairo. My husband was given an overseas posting to Cairo, Egypt in the fall of 2002. It wouldn’t have been my first choice but my mum had died that year and an overseas posting seemed like an answer to my grief. His American company was particularly hopeless at finding us accommodation so I went out and contracted my own realtor who found us a beautiful villa to rent on a quiet street in the suburb of Maadi. Maadi means ferry crossing and the town was on the banks of the Nile at the southernmost edge of the huge city of Cairo. When we lived there, it was still on the edge of the desert and filled with wildlife. We had buzzards, foxes, Egyptian fruit bats and endless birds on migration.
