A Texas Homecoming
Greetings, Vocal readers and subscribers! Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a familiar place that I haven't been to in almost 15 years. I've expressed my love for my hometown of Arlington, Texas in numerous stories on Vocal. Fow two days, it was my time to do some sight-seeing and nothing more. This long overdue vacation was solely about me, not about visiting family, as I've been estranged from them since 2011. I'll share a collage of pictures from my two-day stay in Arlington throughout this story. Just for reference, I took over 200 photos, so not every one of them will be featured.

Where Hills Speak and Water Remembers:
When I first saw Nazareth’s skyline rising from the Galilean hills, it felt more like stepping into a long-held memory than just arriving somewhere new. Stone buildings tumbled down the slopes, with minarets and bell towers reaching into the same sky. Still, I was drawn to one place above all: the striking, modern Basilica of the Annunciation.
