The Rain in Spain

SPAIN | Tuesday, 20 Jan 2009 | Views [116] | Comments [3]

It rained yesterday.  The clouds made for a pleasantly warm coat around the earth, and I was very comfortable in just my one jacket (instead of five layers).  I went with Swayni to her University to just be around school-ish things again.  I went into ... Read more >

En Espana

SPAIN | Friday, 16 Jan 2009 | Views [139] | Comments [4]

I am doing laundry.  I've almost forgotten what clean laundry smelled/felt/looked like.  The dirty backpacker truth is (sorry, mom) that I haven't done laundry since five countries ago.  My aunt and uncle from San Francisco are vacationing in Paris, ... Read more >


Bohemian Nights

FRANCE | Monday, 12 Jan 2009 | Views [173]

So Erica and I spent the weekend in Monmartre (as in Moulin Rouge and Amelie).  The streets on one side are lined with sex shops galore (the side where the famous Moulin Rouge resides) and down other streets, what Erica likes to refer to as "one ... Read more >

My head scarf has peace signs

TURKEY | Friday, 5 Dec 2008 | Views [172] | Comments [2]

Istanbul to Constantinople

TURKEY | Friday, 28 Nov 2008 | Views [183] | Comments [4]

I want to learn Arabic.  It is everywhere, on every mosque.  The Koran is aesthetically beautiful because of it.  Arabic looks like music sounds and how poetry feels. Back in a big city after two weeks of dead Grecian islands and small tourist towns.... Read more >


A hunt for canned pumpkin...and then there was this camel...

TURKEY | Thursday, 27 Nov 2008 | Views [273] | Comments [3]

Happy Turkey Day from Turkey! This is my Thanksgiving Day... First, we decide that we need to find pumpkin, because though no one here knows or cares about Thanksgiving, we are very homesick.  But we are in Goreme, which is a little tiny town of ... Read more >

So we are still here in Goreme, Cappadocia.  We keep meaning to leave, and we keep deciding to stay one more night.  The 11 hour bus ride to Istanbul will have to wait, and at least we will have dry-ish clothes.  It's kind of nice with no schedules ... Read more >

First of all, everyone in the SoCal area, we are praying hard for you all. I was going to blog tonight, but after hearing about the fires, it will have to wait.  We are in Turkey, in Selçuk, and safe...but our hearts and thoughts are on SoCal.
