and you're at the airport
and you need to find a way to tell someone
that your flight has been rerouted...
well in that situation, I'm not buying it.
Say what?!

I Know Technology is Supposed to Make Life Better But...
when you lose your phone and your computer is broken
and you're at the airport
and you need to find a way to tell someone
that your flight has been rerouted...
well in that situation, I'm not buying it.

Looking Good and Tasting Even Better, Istanbul!
Filo-sofers!
My sincerest apologies for not updating sooner
but a series of computer and internet troubles
left me almost entirely technologically crippled.
So thanks for being patient
Now let's get back to Turkey shall we?
(all of these things, both architectural and edible, are as good as they look)

For the Love of the Cave
Cappadocia was so impressive and inspiring that it deserves
a minimum of two entries about it.
Wouldn't you rather live here than wherever you're living now?
Seeing these intricate networks of cave dwellings really makes me wonder if
cave men still have the architectural edge on us.
Architects, consider yourselves on notice!

Land of the Misplaced Camel and Other Stories
My dear Filosofers!
My sincerest apologies for my unprofessionally lengthy absence.
Rest assured it was all in the interest of maximizing the amount
I was able to see and subsequently then share with you.
So I hope you will find it was worth the wait...
The land where hotels can look like this...
Steaks are made of paper...
Walls are made of rugs...
Camels are hidden in the oddest of places...
Please stay tuned.
More to come as we unpack and sift through our memory cards.

Ah, Turkey.
The land where hotels can look like this...
Steaks are made of paper...
Walls are made of rugs...
Camels are hidden in the oddest of places...
....and entire regions appear straight out of a Tim Burton film.
Please stay tuned.
More to come as we unpack and sift through our memory cards.
