The Gillettes' Global News and Views. Sunday, May 4, 2008. A Journey into Ancient Times on the Nile: Aswan to Luxor. Our vessel: The Sonesta St. George. Enjoying the very luxurious lounge while sipping at our welcome drinks. A couple of the amazing flowers in the gardens of one of the Nile's islands in Aswan. Once we reloaded the camera with batteries (after no pictures at a couple of the first sights, sorry), we got some great shots at Edfu temple in Edna. This was funny. Tree? On the way back to the bo...

The Gillettes' Global News and Views. Thursday, April 23, 2009. We used every last bit of the nice weather in September and October, knowing that a REAL winter lay ahead, and for each of us it would be for the first time in years. So, what did we do? We went camping, of course. This is Elk Lake, high on the Cascade Lakes Hwy in the shadow of Mt. Bachelor and the South Sister (above). And here's Mt. Bachelor, free of snow for maybe one month a year. You can tell they were not having any fun, at all. Respo...

Cute backpack, don't you think? Marcus, able to find a chair anywhere. But after dinner the clouds cleared and we were rewarded with a nice pe...

The Gillettes' Global News and Views. Sunday, August 19, 2007. After leaving Astoria, Marcus and I hiked up Saddle Mountain, which is really gorgeous. On clear days you can see some of the other mountains around. The wildflowers were pretty unbelievable, and this was our chance to test out or fancy shmancy new hiking boots on a real mountain. Verdict: real boots rock! But they're heavy and stiff,. working on breaking them in. Marcus rock climbing,. It was like a rainforest, very dense and green. And it's...

The Gillettes' Global News and Views. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Egypt - Last Days. This post is LONG overdue. Maybe we were too sad to complete it, after having left so many great people and things in Maadi. Who knows. Regardless, we both can't help but admit what amazing experiences and lifelong friends we made during our three years there. Here are just a few snapshots of our last couple months as we cherished the moments. . And countless hours of fun with Amy over the years.,. Speechless, I'm sure.
