On my last trip to a new location, Bulgaria, I realized just how difficult it was to find out the information that I wanted.

 Riding shotgun… This is a note I wrote for a friend regarding his planned trip to Mongolia. It’s been a year since we went but the info and advice is as valid today as it was then. The trip in question was a nine day steppe, Gobi, wilderness road trip in a 7 seat, 15 year old [... Time-Lapse Mongolia] I’ve come to the conclusion that all people think I’m not the most imaginative conversationalist. Why? Because I cannot, no matter how hard I try, or how well I lie, I find it difficult to hold a “small talk” conversation. It’s impossible for me.

My Feet, A Feast for Fish] A couple of years ago, the “English” teachers, took Devon and I to this fantastic restaurant and introduced us to Shabu Shabu; it quickly became our favorite Korean dish.

How to Eat Shabu Shabu]  Famous in Daegu is a stone Buddha with a hat. We’ve never seen a Buddha stature with a hat before, except for the many images of it plastered all over the city. It would be criminal to have lived in Daegu three years and never climbed Mt. Palgong to see it. So we did. We did it! [... The Killer Trek to the Buddha of Health] As many of you know, Jim and I have been exploring the world for the entire time that we’ve known each other (and we’re going on 25 years).
