Lactose Intolerant @ The Parthenon

Chicago (Illinois)

The Parthenon claims to have invented saganaki, which is now served in every Greek restaurant across the country (and in Greece!). And if you're lactose intolerant, there is a way to enjoy saganaki without the discomforts. Probably not what the doctor ordered but it might be the cure!

Moldovan Princess

Bucharest (Romania)

Our youngest daughter's adoption voyage from the orphange in Moldova to America. After three years (yes three) of processing paperwork, dealing with fickel foreign governmental agencies, overcoming the loss of one potential child to bribery, and a whole lot of nail-biting-is-this-ever-going-to-work worrying...we finally brought her home in July of 2004. Like most everyone here, we love to travel so it was a natural choice for us to try an international adoption. I don't have any hotel recommendations or restaurant tips and the video is a bit sentimental I admit, but it was the very first video I ever made (i.e., pretty simple editing) and I wanted us to be able to remember some of those details that fade with time - the orphanage playground, what she looked like the first time we saw her in person(1:04), her primary caregiver for the first four years of her life, her bed in a room with twenty other beds, the bathroom with no shower or bathtub & toilet with no rim or seat, the moment she walked out of the orphanage for the very last time (1:55),and some of the other children with whom we also grew to love in an incredibly short time. Anyway, thanks for watching - as always.

The Evolution of a Thai beach

Thailand (South-Eastern Asia)

Thailand is one most beautiful countries in the world. Over the last 25 years I've watched Thailand change from a backpackers haven to an international destination. With these changes a major problem has occurred, and on a recent trip i realized there was trouble in paradise. It seemed everywhere I looked there was garbage.

Flying with a DC Aerial Photographer

Frederic Mares Museum

Barcelona (Spain)

We know it's sunny, and sometimes really hot in the city. That's why it's always a good idea to have a drink and rest for a bit. But what if you could do it in a beautiful, historic courtyard, and furthermore, if you could visit an amazing museum too? Museu Frederic Mar�s is very near Barcelona's cathedral, so join Gina and discover it!

Vienna, Austria: Traditional & Modern

Vienna (Austria)

Vienna used to be the center of the world, and it's opulence and focus on art and culture is apparent on every cobblestone, fountain or baroque facade. But do not be fooled, though the MuseumQuartier boasts traditional museums and the grand opera house is a glorious site at night, the city is very young and modern. The Mariahilferstrasse is the main shopping street with high end shops like Swarovski down to touristy trinket stores. The city had a very modern aesthetic mixed in--the cathedral is juxtaposed right next to the all glass reflecting Haus House. Cafes, restaurants, and swanky lounges cover the city and a tasty lunch spot is the Naschmarkt. All in all, the city has enough history, culture, food and fun to keep anyone entertained for days.
