sightseeing excursion

The 57-year-old had gone on a sightseeing excursion to a cliff-side church in Bonnieux, a village in southeast France.

At a meeting of European leaders in Malta last week, Mrs. May and Ms. Merkel abruptly canceled a planned bilateral meeting after a brief exchange during a sightseeing excursion was deemed enough.

In October, a truck and a bus carrying elderly people on a sightseeing excursion collided in southwestern France, killing 43.

There was no immediate indication of why the DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter turboprop went down, killing the nine people during the sightseeing excursion.

The journey includes a series of enlightening, if not quite life-affirming, encounters that range from anger-inducing to humbling and take place in variously far-flung locations - a busy intersection in midtown Manhattan, a Chinese buffet at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, a secluded campsite in the Rocky Mountains, a sightseeing excursion in South Africa.
