In the year 1642, a lot of things happened. King Charles I of England attempted to arrest members of parliment precipitating the English Civil War. Later that year, the war itself began as Parliment and the King ravaged the country side. Ultimately the King was beheaded in 1649 and Oliver Cromwell created his Protestant Commonwealth and all its horrors. Also that year, Rembrandt van Rijn painted one of his most famous paintings, The Night Watch. It was the year that Isaac Newton was born and Suleiman II, an Ottoman Sultan. Galileo Galilei and Cardinal Richelieu both died ending their important and epoch careers. Also in that year, somewhere in Saudi Arabia, a book was published somewhere in Arabia. It discusses the Arabic language, its forms and grammar; a subject that for many Muslim scholars took on a spiritual dimension as part of their efforts to understand the Holy Quran. Here are the pictures of my beloved treasure:

I enjoyed your stories. It sounds like you have had a wonderful time travelling. I just want to point out your typo so you can fix it: "I past a KFC that was open until 3:00 am." You should change it to passed. See-ya!
