Thankfully I've never had a serious problem in Amsterdam over several trips. However, I was at the US Consulate with my buddy while he replaced his passport. While there I met a guy from Chicago who had just been cleaned out while he slept in his hotel. His only remaining possessions were the clothes he had on his back... no passport, no money, no clothes, etc. Just a reminder, these things can happen even while you sleep tight next to your belonging! Store any important belongings ( passport, credit cards, etc...) in a safe box when asleep or away.

These people will be here when cilization dies.
All races come from black people, and the white man knows he come from a tribe in east africa, especially this tribe (Maasai). I don't like the way these white vistors has talked about these people. Frist of all, these people are in a human zoo which you go to see. And, the price for coming into their village is worth more than the price asked for. Theses people are leting strangers come into their village,which could be bring dieases that can hurt or kill them. Yes, these people live in very poore conditions,but it has been their way of life since ancient time and they have survied. So, who are we to put down someone way of living,especially when they did't ask you to come to their land or home. I know these people is probley the white man foundation from which he come from...Just look at their features on the face...skinny nose, I thought all black people had wide noses,but not the eastern tribes of Africa,because this is where the garden of eden was, and the nile is the river that ran out of the garden of eden. Therefore, this land and area is the answers to man creation on this......dig deeper, you will find out that, "black man came from another planet,which the bible tells you that. But, eventhouth, we have broken off into different tribes and races, we are all from the same family, Human-being, and the being stand for the part of use not from this earth.

pice are excellent
I teach art history at missouri valley college. I wonder if I could show my class some of your pics of gothic architecture. They are very good, and from a man on the streets point of view that may help them imagine themselves there. Floyd

Sixty plus years ago.
Hi Guy's ... Your blog of Casablanca brought back memories. You stated thirty years ago. Believe me, it looked the same when I was there 62 years ago. Looking forward to seeing you upon your return. Luv ... Les Jones

In light of the flurry of comments you guys left for me...
let me add that the next day we laughed our asses off after I leafed through the police report and saw, among the list of stolen property one iPod "NiNi" that apparently carried the inscription (at least according to the Amsterdam PD) "To Gene: Love Man".

Scared and relieved
I didn't know what the hell was going on when I was woken up by Gina screaming when I was sleeping just in the next room over. I think we can all definitely agree about feeling violated in terms of our personal space, since it was our home for three days. Just glad we still managed to have a good trip there overall. And finding the camera lens while packing on the way out was a much needed pleasant surprise! I will keep repeating: I am beyond relieved that no one got hurt. Except for the perp...despite the actual lack of hypodermics all over the streets.

What about South America?
Are you guys just taking a break by returning home? I could swear you guys were planning on going to Buenos Aires in November. If you can't make it this time around, make a point to go eventually. As amazing as I'm sure the trip has been, I'm sure you're looking forward to coming home too!

Masai Food Habits
Recently on our visit to Masai Mara in Kenya and Lake Manyara and Gorongoro in Tanzania in the year 2011, we had occassions to meet wonderful Masai people and visit their village like what Gene and his wife did. Me my wife and firends were provided with wonderful insight in their customs and tradition. What we found amazing was the fact that inspite of living in villages , the tribe does not cultivate and grains or vegetables and do not at all rely or perhaps eat the grain seeds. At the same time, they do not hunt the animals for food as we are told and depend entirely on the poultry for survivial. We were told that a village chief has a council of his own consisting of four persons besides himself, one of which is the mid-wife who helps delivering children,the other being the medicine man and the other two, again based on their work for the village, I do not remember for the time being. All in all a wonderful tribe with great survival skills and importantly habits that mend with the nature.
