Not to miss the great Mohammed V Mausoleum with the Hassan Tower. The Medina with its blue walls. The Atlantic beaches are wide and pristine. A stop at the Holy City Of Moulay Idriss where the founder of Islam is buried and then on to the archaeological site of the Roman ruins at Volubilis. From here travel to the Imperial City of Meknes and then on to Fez, the first Imperial City which was built in 790 A.D. by Moulay Idriss II. This is the world last surviving Medieval city with great monuments, a Medina with bustling souks and the oldest tanneries in the world. The drive to Erfoud is 300 miles over the dramatic Atlas Mountains. Then on by four-wheel drive to the sand dunes of Merzouga. Overnight in a Berber Bivouac in the desert and sunrise watch on camel back. Spectacular. Travel West along the Anti-Atlas Mountains to ElKelaa des M'Goun and past the ancient city of Tinerhir into the Gorges du Todra. On to Ouarzazate with a stop at the sprawling and impressive Atlas Film Studios where Gladiator and Kundun were filmed. A stop in Ait Ben Haddou, probably the most picturesque ancient medieval city. In Marrakech a visit to the monumental Saadian Tombs, the Medina and Djemaa Elfna, a grand open theater with storytellers, fire eaters, snake-charmers and endless open-air restaurants. The Majorelle Gardens, Yves St Laurent former residence, are a must. Then on to Essaouira, an 800 year old Atlantic port with a massive fort and great seafood restaurants. ( Fact: Jimi Hendrix lived here for a while and did not want to leave!) Contact: www.oussadentours.com info@oussadentours.com less

Santiago’s Metro is world class. The stations are clean, large and well lit. The trains run on a tight schedule. Television monitors on the platform tell you when the next train is due. It was independence day, and the streets were quiet. Most shops had closed for the holiday. I returned to the Plaza de Armas to record independence day celebrations. The plaza was mostly cordoned off by police. It is a Chilean Independence Day tradition for the President, the military elite, and other high government officials to attend church at the Metropolitan Cathedral on the plaza square. The appearance of the president comes with much fanfare. Two regiments of Chilean soldiers marched and paraded around the square. One of the regiments dressed in grey ceremonial uniforms with black boots. Their shiny grey helmets eerily resembled those worn by the Wermacht soldiers of Germany in World War II. While the band played patriotic music, I perched myself on a monument and had a perfect view of the plaza. Sure enough, President Ricardo Lagos arrived in an open-air limo. Lagos stood in the back seat of the convertible wearing a grey suit with a broad, red, white and blue ribbon, waving to the crowd. As the motorcade turned the corner it passed just a few feet from my camera. www.frakesproductions.com less

Herod the Great built Caesarea Maritima to honor his patron, Caesar Augustus about 25–13 BC. I visited in July, 2007 while recording footage for an upcoming documentary on the life of Apostle Peter. The book of Acts records that in Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of the Italian Cohort. Peter met Cornelius and converted him to Christianity. Caesarea harbor is one of the most significant engineering feats of the ancient world, Herod’s engineers filled barges with sand, floated them into position and then sank them in a circle, thus forming the harbor. Once Roman ships had a safe place to dock, Caesarea became a major seaport. Eventually, time and the sea washed the sand footings away. www.frakesproductions.com less
