As a university student I spent my summers selling books door to door in eastern Canada for the Southwestern Company, based out of Nashville, TN. The picture on the left is me in my first summer selling books in Oshawa, Ontario. My second summer I sold books in Oakville, Ontario; 3rd summer, St. John, New Brunswick, and 4th summer Calgary, Alberta. The picture on the right is me and some book selling friends in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on a bonus trip that we won for units of books sold.

Riding the Jesus boat on the Sea of Galilee. The Sea is absolutely beautiful! We stayed at the Howard Johnson right on the sea. It was amazing to watch the sun rise from the lawn chairs overlooking the water. It was a very special place for its serenity, beauty, peace and history. It was fun making the trip with good friends in the above photo...Lisa, Lucy, Lig and Patrick.

The photo on the left is the Jordan River in Israel. The river was smaller and greener than I thought it would be. It was amazing to stand in the water that Jesus was baptized in. On our way to various holy sites we ran across some cute little bunnies in the photo on the right that were cared for by a street vendor. Very cute! .

Riding "Sammy" the camel in Jericho. Sammy enjoys walking slowly and drinking cans of Pepsi in his spare time.

There is something special about the Mediterranean Sea. I don't know what it is but I fell in love with it's beauty the moment I watched a sunset over it from our hotel in Tel Aviv. The photo on the right is beautiful Caesarea Philippi, the place where Peter acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah. .

Jerusalem is of course amazing but very different from the smaller country like towns in Israel. It's a city and as such is more busy and harsh than places like Galilee, Nazareth and Capernum. A beautiful church is built on the rock of Calvary. People visiting the church have the opportunity to kneel at the above altar and reach down a hole to touch the rock of Calvary.

A beautiful church is built on the site of what archaeologists believe to be the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem. People visitng the church have the opportunity to kneel in devotion at the mini-shrine above.

Floating on the Dead Sea in Israel was awesome! Because of the extremely high salt content of the Dead Sea people automatically float! There are no living things in the water that you would expect to find in a sea. That's great for people that are as picky about that kind of stuff as I am. Makes swimming extra fun!

Anyone who knows me personally knows how much I absolutely LOVE theme parks. I'm a huge Disney fan and theme park buff. The photo on the left is Goofy and I at Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. I love all the Disney characters but Goofy is my favorite. On the left is the Cat in the Hat and I at Seuss Landing, Islands of Adventures, Orlando, Florida.

Besides being a huge Disney and Theme Park buff I'm also a rollercoaster hound. I LOVE the thrill of rollercoasters! Above is a picture of me and "The Hulk" at Islands of Adventure, Orlando, Florida. What an awesome rollercoaster! I rode it twice! It was a blast!

Dueling Dragons Ice and Fire, Islands of Adventure, Orlando,

Florida is awesome! It's North America's first inverted rollercoaster. What a thrill! Especially at this point in the ride when the other rollercoaster shows up out of nowhere right in front of you. Pretty freaky and exciting all at once!
