June – August 1990

Intro
Prior to this trip in 1990, I had been on three others. In 1982, at only 3 years old, I took my first international trip to visit family in Jordan, with a stopover in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1984, I visited Jordan for the second time. And in 1987, at 8 years old, I visited Jordan for the third time, and my family in Syria for the first time.
Since I was so young and these 2-3 month summer trips were primarily to spend time with family, I really consider this 1990 trip to be the first

Heidelberg, West Germany
The famous ruins of Heidelberg Castle’s Gate Tower was one of the major highlights on a day cruise of the picturesque Rhine Valley from Frankfurt-am-Main. This is also one of the few pictures of me in a country which no longer exists – West Germany! (Technically, of course). Haha look at me, I’m 11 here! Crazy.
