Places I Want to Go

New Zealand. No further comment is needed.


Hokkaido, Japan. Fascinating place.

Tripoli, Libya -- the city known as the White Bride, whose buildings are often made from sand that is almost pure white.


Spain.


Argentina. And they make great wine too.



Malta. I think actually I will live here.

Denmark.



The Hindu Kush mountains in high central asia, where the average altitude often exceeds 16,000 feet. This is Tirich Mir, just about 7,000 meters. This part of the world seems so mysterious and strange to me, and is probably as remote a place as can be still found in the world. This particular peak is in north Pakistan, near the narrow pass in the corridor of land in north Afghanistan that stretches to China. This region begins in northern Afghanistan, and the range of mountains extrends through Pakistan and joins other ranges, including the rough terrain of Uzbekstan, Kyrgistan, and into the Himalayas of China and the high plateaus of Tibet.

Now that's a post. I must follow it with one of my own.

When you go, can we come with you?

Ibrahim said...

Yeah, I'll pay too, no worries. Nate's going to get me the spend-as-much-as-you-want-and-still-retire-on-5-million financial plan. It's going to be great.

I guess Malta, Central Asia, Denmark, and Spain make up the essential list, though, if we have to cut it down

Family do not fret. We will not be living in Malta. Abe will be living there only in his dreams. ;)

Ibrahim said...

Why she has to crush my dreams.

Okay fine, not Malta; we'll live in Denmark, and I will eat much Havarti.

Havarti = Yes
