Always about Eiffel

A stunningly romantic city icon



This is the time I've chosen to be here again, and always about the EiFfel Tower that fascinated me. In spite of many other attractions in Paris. But. It's not wrong if you always want to take a picture of this tower in various ways, but this time just two pictures for you.

See the atmosphere in the blue sky with the enchanting clouds adorning the Eiffel, the Champ de Mars area, where the iron tower stands, stretches the garden with its green grass like a rug.


Not only me, people are lining up to be able to relax around the lawn garden, others order to climb the elevator to reach the top of the design tower from Gustave Eiffel which was completed in 1889. At an altitude you can watch the classic-style buildings of Paris and the tourist-carrying ships passing by the Seine River.

Hadrian's Era in Jerash

The ancient city of Jerash on the shores of Lake Galilee



Many records of the past in this fascinating city, although the ruins give a deep impression, I can understand what has happened in this place. Tell me the story of Jesus casting out evil spirits, a story that took place on the eastern edge of the lake.

You can also see how people in those days built the Arch of Hadrian, a magnificent building as a tribute to the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the winter of 129-130.


I cross every inch of the area as if in this old city, at a time that might be hard for you to imagine. But one thing for sure, I was fascinated by this atmosphere.

A day in Barcelona

End of March with cool air about 3-12 degree



You never know how in this city, take a walk to Plaza de Catalunya, a breathtaking atmosphere, I provide myself to just enjoy the atmosphere of the city. Temperatures are about 13 degrees Celsius, but you would not expect rain to come from time to time.


You can see the crowds of tourists, regardless Barcelona is not the capital of this country, but in tourist visits it is extraordinary. You can shop for world-class branded goods, but get a unique tourist attraction you can find here, say the building works of Antoni Gaudi.


Some people still walk even though the streets are deserted, the other roads around Passeig de Gracia are still relatively quiet, janitors still pick up cigarette butts on the sidewalk, empty the trash can, and I will look for typical culinary in this city, like the typical Pan Payes con Tomato with bread, tomatoes, garlic and olive oil.
