Africa by the Numbers
Sandy provides some trip statistics, as well as country information for the three nations that we visited during our seven weeks in Africa.
A Taste of Morocco: Marrakesh
Morocco is a country that we have wanted to visit for quite some time. So we were happy to stop in Morocco for a day on our way west, hoping to get a taste of what the country has to offer.
Exploring Food in Africa and the Middle East
As we traveled in Africa and the Middle East over the past two months, we had the opportunity to try many different types of food. Our three weeks in Ethiopia and 10 days in Jordan provided ample time to sample many dishes.
A Mediterranean Voyage
We are back at sea and on the Pacific Princess, as we travel from Rome, Italy, to Manaus, Brazil, over the next 32 days. As we began our journey we visited three ports in the Mediterranean Sea.

Discovering Jordan Off the Beaten Path
We came to Jordan to visit two of the country’s UNESCO World Heritage sites: the archeological treasure of Petra and the desert landscape of Wadi Rum. The way we explored each one took us off the beaten path and provided us with a more remote and memorable experience.
Seeking History and Religion in Northern Ethiopia
Before and after our trek we journeyed through the northern portion of Ethiopia. Our travels took us along the Historical Circuit, as we sought Ethiopia’s unique history and the role of religion in its culture.
