                    <title>Heading North for a Taste of the Baltics</title>
                    <description>GreetingsSince last writing we've returned home to reality but we are determined to finish our blog entries ... so here we go.  From Chisinau we caught a cheap flight to the northern Baltic outpost of Riga Latvia.  Riga's reputation as a destination for British stag parties precedes it so we weren't alarmed when we arrived in Old Town to the sounds of drunken raucousness.  Indeed the mayor </description>

                    <description>Greetings From Istanbul we caught a night train north to Bulgaria.  We nursed a bottle of Raki Turkish Ouzo with our cabin mates before nodding off only to be woken by border guards at 3 a.m. and told we needed to walk to the far end of the station to have our passports stamped.  As we exited the conductor pulled Jub aside stuffed 15 Euros in his pocket and asked for three cartons of cigare</description>

                    <title>A TooShort Trip to Turkey</title>
                    <description>GreetingsOur time in Turkey was far too brief.  Having only a few weeks to explore a country that is worthy of months we chose to stick to two highlights  Istanbul and Cappadocia.  In the end we were glad to have seen two very different sides of Turkey but are definitely planning another trip to Turkey sometime in our future to give the country its due.  When we touched down spring had sprun</description>

                    <description>Greetings and apologies for the delay but Jub was sending out cover letters this past week.  Oh is that you Reality From Jordan we crossed over the King Hussein Bridge into Israel.  In the preceding two months we'd interacted with basically zero working women since almost all the waiters store and hotel clerks in India Egypt and Jordan were male.  This made for an interesting contrast w</description>

                    <description>GreetingsHere's the lowdown on our week in Jordan the most pleasant surprise of our trip thus farparticularly since it wasn't even on our original itinerary. We arrived in Jordan via ferry across the Red Sea landing at the Port of Aqaba with several dozen Christian package tourists the Christ Died for Your Sins tshirts and reading aloud of biblical passages re the parting of said sea wer</description>

                    <description>GreetingsFinally peeling ourselves away from India we landed in Cairo anxious to see what Egypt had in store for us.  The plan was to meet up with Anna's parents and Bestafar grandfather for a trip up the Nile and then to hit Dahab on the Sinai peninsula for a week or so of relaxation and diving.Touching down the Cairo airport provided an early introduction to the concept of baksheesh one th</description>

                    <description>Greetings  After three fun frenetic weeks in India our only problem was food related . . . we were both starting to put on weight from all the dirt cheap and delicious curry dahl and nan.  Here's the lowdown on week three which we spent in Rajasthan. Our first stop was Udaipur.  We arrived somewhat weary from our sprint west so we were happy to learn that one of the big attractions in town </description>

                    <description>Greetings  Three weeks in and we are still loving India which keeps finding new ways to awe us and keep us on our toes. On day eight we flew from Varanasi to Khajuraho where we spent the afternoon exploring aroundand blushing atthe town's two dozen eleventh century erotic temples.

                    <description>Greetings  India is intense. And awesome. And way more interesting to blog about than the week we spent recovering from the flu in Yangshuo and Hong Kong.  We knew we were going to like India on our way in from the Delhi airport when the long haul trucks we passed were all decorated to the hilt with painted flowers and Hindu Gods streamers stickers and colored tape swirled around their bu</description>

Transitioning from Yunnan province to China's big cities was a little rough. We went from blue skies and gorgeous countryside to cold imposing and gray cities. But once we settled into our winter gear and our eyes adjusted to </description>

                    <description>GreetingsHere's the rundown on our time in Hanoi and Northern Vietnam before we crossed the border into southwestern China late last week. When we arrived in Hanoi the city was immersed in Tet New Year preparations. We spent most of our time in Old Town where traffic in the already narrow scooterchoked alleys was regularly brought to a standstill by Tet shoppers cruising the storefront</description>

After finally convincing Jub we shouldn't fly to the southern beach resort of Phu Quoc Island based solely on reports he'd heard that all the dogs there have blue tongues we caught a puddle jumper six hundred miles north to Hoi An.  Once a thriving port city Hoi An is now known for its cuisine innumerable custom tailors and cob</description>
