Shoot Eighteen - Fall Festival

Way too easy - Paris! Michelle, Peyton, Carol, Milt, Elaine, Tony M., Jim, Joani, and Mike Di were all on board with this one!

"Fall Festival"

My church runs an annual Fall Festival for its parishioners. Rides, food, music, and games are available on the grounds. 

Well, this little girl was too short (and young) to go on the inflatable balls via the front entrance so she chose to do it in reverse. She didn't get too far as her Dad was within a few feet to sweep her off the ride.

I got a feeling in a few more years and a few more inches taller that she'll be back at the entrance to give it a go!

Where in the World?

Better get out the atlas as this year I will be featuring some of the more famous cities of the world! Here are some interesting facts about one of them. Just what city would I be visiting? 

this capital city is actually the largest city on the African continent?

home to over 16 million people and is definitely chaotic, exotic, dusty, smelly, and extremely beautiful.

Masr al-Qadima is the most ancient part of the city which was the original Babylon. It is the Coptic Christian community center where churches abound.

Ben Ezra synagogue is also located here. This is the oldest synagogue in the country.

This should do it: If you want to travel back in time and re-discover the rich history of the country then you must not forget to go to the city’s museum. Along with the sarcophagi, mummies, and other ancient relics, the museum itself is a reflection of the country’s archeological glory.
