""We experienced a symphony of color, altitude and awe," Joe said. "From the crisp, pine-scented air, the journey felt like an untamed invitation to embrace nature's grandeur.""
""One of the most spectacular is Abu Simbel in Upper Egypt along Lake Nasser, near the Sudan border. It comprises the Temple for Ramses II and a Temple for his wife, Nefertiti. They were literally hewn from rocks surrounding them, with tombs and bas relief walls of figures below this entrance. The size of these outer statues is so impressive.""
Mona Shah and Joe Samagond of Fremont completed a drive across Colorado, stopping in Denver, Boulder, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glenwood Hot Springs, Aspen and Breckenridge. They enjoyed golden aspens, elk calls, pine-scented air and the stillness of the Continental Divide. Joe recommends booking a $2 timed entry pass for Rocky Mountain National Park on recreation.gov, which become available a month or two in advance and sell quickly. Wendy and Rick Walleigh of Los Altos visited Egypt and Jordan, viewing sites 2,000–5,000 years old, including Abu Simbel, with temples hewn from rock, bas relief walls and impressive outer statues.
