On the huge Tongle Sap lake in Cambodia, it’s fascinating to see people living on the water. You wonder how often they go ashore when everything they need is right there, including a school. Pictured is a grandpa and his granddaughter cleaning the day’s catch of tiny silvery fish. 
So you’ve been wondering where I’ve been? Sometime in April, there was a huge dust storm in Ankara. Not only did it last three days, it knocked out our Internet. It took us a full two weeks to get it back. Ridiculous! Well, then what happened the last couple of weeks? We’re moving! We found [...] Continue reading Yay! Re-connected! 
After seeing El Jem on the Amazing Race, it was on the top of my list when motoring through Tunisia. We arrived on a gorgeous day and I love the clouds. Unlike the Colusseum in Rome, you can really wander and climb around the majority of this site. Passageways, ancient graffiti, and pretending to [...] Continue reading WHS – EL Jem 
To me this flower seems almost Dr. Seussish. It’s pointy and weird. I love it. I have no idea what it is, but maybe some type of nettle? Anyone know? I took it in Southern Cyprus a few weeks ago. All the wildflowers were blooming…gorgeous! [...] Continue reading Sharp Flower! 
This past week we stopped in this beautiful little village where the old houses were made of stone. Unfortunately all those that knew the skills of constructing these houses have all died. Now th houses are made of ceramic. 
This was one of the largest camel herds we came across while traversing Mongolia, and this man loved showing off his camels, especially the babies.

There have been budgets cuts before and the whole base will just sit and sit, with nothing happening to it. This is a deserted base house on March AFB [...] Continue reading Things that make me Happy – Tumbleweeds 
We had hired a four wheel drive desert tour while stopping over in Dubai, and I asked the driver to stop while I took this shot. Then I asked him where exactly where we were and he said, “Oman. There really isn’t a border and we just crossed over a couple of minutes ago”. [...] Continue reading A View of Oman 
On a cold winter’s day in Tunisia, you’ll see plenty of people line up for this delicious soup. Leblebi is the Turkish word for chick pea, and the Tunisians adopted the word from them. The soup is all chickpea, but on top of it you layer all sorts of toppings from egg to pepper [...] Continue reading Leblebi Soup 
Spring is one of the best times to go to the Banaue rice terraces in the Philippines. The rice plants sport that bright new green and the terracing is beautiful. It’s still hot, though. It’s an oppressive hot. I didn’t like that part. The sun beating down while we climbed out of them. Let’s [...] Continue reading World Heritage Site – Banaue Rice Terraces |
