Istanbul, Just Bar, June 6, 2010Back to civilization, and what a civilization it is—an amazing mix of cultures, people and flavors. We’re staying in Sultanahmet, which is tourist central for sure, with easy access to many of the city’s famous sites. So, we’re surrounded by tourists, but the variety

Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, June 2, 2010Back in Nairobi, via a Safarilink flight that went very smoothly (even for Robin who, amazingly, slept most of the way), after spending the better part of three days in the Masai Mara. Which was also amazing. Yes, Kenya is indeed full of wildlife of all sorts
