Rothenburg, Germany- This picture almost gave my mom a heart attack. I am jumping here on a 700 year-old wall in the famous Medieval town of Rothenburg. There was an 80 foot drop on the other side but the wall is about 5 ft wide, perfect for not falling and a relatively soft landing. This is one of the coolest places in Europe (even though you can't see the rest of Rothenburg in this shot).

West Bank, Palestine. We have it easy here in the states. The West Bank, due to a variety of reasons, is falling apart economically and politically. The Middle East is fascinating and keeps the whole world on the edge of their seat.
