I - not "will be", but instead "am" - back

(Geneve, Switz.)- Whew! I am back. Among other places, in the last 4.5 weeks I have seen or been to ...

-Stonehenge
-Istanbul
-Hiking in the Rila Mtns. of Bulgaria
-The top of Mt. Blanc
-the ancient city of Troy
-Swimming in the Black Sea
-Across the Dardanelles straits via boat from Europe to Asia and back.

... in no particular order.

I broke my pledge to post more regularly pretty much right away, in part due a hectic travel schedule and in part due to little Internet access in places like Sofia Bulgaria. Many stories to tell and I will tell a bunch of them in the space over the next few days.
