History

Combining spectacular scenery with historic sites, "Classic Germany" is a 15-day tour offered by Odysseys Unlimited (Newton, MA; 888/370-6765, odysseys-unlimited.com).

For the tour (including single supplement), insurance and airfare (Miami-Frankfurt and Berlin-Miami), the cost came to $7,016. I left Miami on July 12, 2017, and returned July 26.

Our tour took in the Rhine, the Black Forest and the Bavarian Alps. In my mind is a collage of sights.

The pyramids of Meroë, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located nearly 250 miles north of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, were pictured in our September mystery photo. Near the town of Karima, the pyramids are situated along the eastern bank of the Nile, where Nubian kings once ruled the Kingdom of Kush, c. 750 BC-AD 350.

Located in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, southwest of Lyon, France, is a memorial and museum to the citizens of the small town who risked their lives to save more than 3,000 Jews from the Holocaust during World War II.
