Pictures from France
Written by Iulian Popa
| Paris has all but exhausted the superlatives that can reasonably be applied to any city. Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower – at sunrise, at sunset, at night – have been described countless times, as have the Seine and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between the Left and Right Banks. But what writers have been unable to capture is the grandness and even the magic. |

Toledo - Spain
Written by Iulian Popa
Spend a morning, afternoon or full day in Toledo, Spain's medieval capital and a treasure trove of El Greco artworks. You'll discover a glorious city filled with amazing medieval architecture, and take a walk into the past along its cobblestone alleyways.
A highlight of any visit to Toledo is seeing the famous paintings by the 16th-century master, El Greco. Toledo was the setting for many of El Greco's artworks, and a tour highlight is The Burial of the Count of Orgaz in the church of St. Tome.

The shrine of Virgin Mary
Written by Iulian Popa
Located on the top of the "Bulbul" mountain 9 km ahead of Ephesus, the shrine of Virgin Mary enjoys a marvelous atmosphere hidden in the green. It is the place where Mary may have spent her last days. Indeed, she may have come in the area together with Saint John, who spent several years in the area to spread Christianity. Mary preferred this remote place rather than living in crowded place.

Paris - France
Paris, the city of life, love, and light. From the Eiffel Tower to the Mona Lisa, from the bustling Champs Elysées to the winding streets of Montmartre, you'll find magic, romance, and history as you sip a café au lait, stroll manicured parks, and watch the sun set over the Seine.
Pictures from Hawaii (USA)
| The large land mass of the Big Island of Hawaii encompasses nearly every climate zone and terrain feature known in the world. From rugged lava-field deserts to snow-capped peaks, from lush rainforests to the wild untamed beauty of the active lava flows, the Big Island offers many different things to see and do. While it is the only island that offers the chance to fly over a live volcano, the Big Island of Hawaii rewards its helicopter tourists with other equally memorable sights as well. |
