OK so I thought for sure the song of the week would get me to blog at least once a week...but here we are 3 weeks into it and I already missed a week.
The song of the week is Duseldorf by Reina Spektor. I absolutely LOVE Regina Spektor. For any of you who don't know who she is, you should definitely check her out. Her best album is Begin To Hope.
I love this song about all the places she has traveled and all the things she has seen and done. Eli found it and it has become our traveling theme song! It makes me think about some of the AMAZING and CRAZY thing that I have been blessed to experience...
- Riding a camal in Egypt.
- Riding a stand up gondola in Venice.
- Climbing the Eiffel tower in the middle of the night (with it's beautiful flashing lights).
- Climbing to the top of the Vatican abd looking out over Rome.
- Taking the "snorklin" tour in Puerto Angel, Mexico.
- Hunting through head stones in Switzerland with my grandma.
- Seeing the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory, The Venus De Milo, The Sistine Chapel, King Tuts belongings and other amazing paintings and sculptures.
- Experiencing Eli's crazy mind at work while he writes his first song..."como se Dice". It's definitely a hit!
- Climbing the Great Wall.
- Seeing the Chinese Acrobats in Beijing.
- Snake Charmers and people selling teeth in Morocco.
- Swinging from vines in the forest in Palenque, Mexico.
- Riding in a Gondola over the top of the Costa Rican rainforest.
- Ciao blondie and the "fish flips free"...(you know what I mean Bridgette...and don't forget "it's hard to walk like a pigeon..they have 2 legs and we have four.")
- Sitting and thinking at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem.
- Witnessing an almost suicide in Shanghai...scary!
- Eli passing out on the plane to Amsterdam.
- Having our sweet sweet Nona with us!!
- Being sold to a Moroccan rug salesman for 270 camals by Uncle Will...thanks Uncle Will...I'm glad you changed your mind!!
- Being forced to purchase a Jade braclet in Hong Kong because I couldn't get it off my wrist after the shop owner lady soaped up my arm and forced it on.
- the delicious meal in "cat pee cafe."
- Crossing the border in Jordan by gunpoint.
And the list goes on and on...I am sooo blessed!

Lucky!!!! I want to go back and do all of the things on your list tomorrow (except pass out on the plane again. That was the worst).
It's hard to walk like a pigeon because they have 2 feet and we have 4. Oh you know what I mean.
Como se dice vamos a comer. HOT! Mira que cosa tiene la mujer esta! HOT HOT HOT!
Here kitty kitty! Your eyes so pretty the boys so lucky! It's my lucky! We only speak Arabic 0/100.
That was an amazing list! I'm totally jealous. I'll have to have Eli sing me his song he wrote sometime. I'm sure it's fantastic.
Holy Cow! How many lives have you lived?!
You are such a fortunate person to be able to have traveled as you have. I am jealous, naturally! I have traveled my fair share, but you put me to shame! :)
You are so blessed! I live my life vicariously through you!! Some day we'll travel together (when we're old and need people to push us around in wheel chairs.) =)
p.s. I want to see "No Diggity" posted on your weekly song list!
he he he he! ya......I'm pretty sure it was the chino or something! Cause all the sudden that makes no sense to me. Weird. We don't have four feet. Hmmmm
All that travel talk makes me homesick for fun travel days!!! AHHHHHHHH! mexico!! I wish i was somewhere bloody hot. miss you.
I finally caught up to reading your updated blog and loved every bit of it ! Thanks for sharing ! It brought back SO MANY wonderful memories and you'll be happy to know Salvation Mountain is still going strong even in the triple digit weather we have every day now. That sweet little baby Krishelle Kate is darling - just like her Aunt Krishelle - you deserve to be honored in that way ! All my love, Grandma Nona
