Basketball at Midnight

I have a full set of directions to and from my house. I have them especially formatted to be exactly 1 (or exactly 2) pages, depending on how you’re coming. There’s one link for those coming from the East OR following I-70 from the west, and another link for those coming from other [...]

Back in the days of my early travels, there were no blogs.
At least, it wasn't big. It might have filled in some little niche of the world, but it wasn't popular, wasn't a big deal, and I didn't trust it. So I wrote my own, shortly prior to the huge trip around the world. I [...]

Overnight by train from Bucharest, Romania, I have arrived in Budapest for a few days before making my way on to Slovenia.
Having written scantily in the last few days, heaps of stuff (that’s Aussie English) has been building as possible things to log about… you’ll just get to see where I go with it, but I [...]

A pleasant, “large” Bulgarian city in the mountains, with gorges and chasms separating the different quarters of the city.
After leaving Sophia, I’ve come to Veliko Turnovo, a really magnificent little place. But much of Bulgaria seems to be beautiful, tucked in the back corner of Europe (and eigth grade social studies’ memories). I’ve thrown out the plans [...]
