Jason, you can't give up the blog, it is so interesting and I love reading about your adventures. Hope I get an opportunity to see your pictures. Keep safe, Helen
Bring me back a souvenir or 2 if you can. There are a lot of second hand stores . Gold and leather items are supposed to be inexpensive. A pendant or a broach. Apple tea is also a specialty there.

Oh my Jason I want to see a self cleaning toilet in action! I love that out of your whole post - that was the part that I really wanted to see.
Nice Ashley..... thanks for sharing :P Now I think I'm over my wish to see a self cleaning toilet
15 degrees and sunny! *whine* Okay I'm so behind but I'm going to see if I can catch up a big on your blogs.
My family has been keeping me up to date on your happenings though - so I don't feel too left behind! :)
I so want to go to Amsterdam - I'm so jealous!
Another city to explore The little fellow sure enjoyed your company on the flight. You're VERY good with kids Jason. Trouble is, they take advantage of those who connect with them. Quite amusing that he couldn't talk to you but loved the contact just the same (ha ha)
Izmir sounds like a very interesting spot -- you're having a great adventure. I would have been quite shocked to hear you had checked into the Hilton (one of these days, when you're a rich doctor)
Funny! A bit on the lighter side --I find the 'ys' replaced by 'zs' familiar and funny!! I know you're using a German keyboard (ha ha) Very helpful roommate woke you up -- that was fortunate -- could have led to complications if you had slept in. Munich is a beautiful city.
Jeff coming to NL. for a few day 18-22. You'll be back by that time.
Take care.
Jason that must have been such a moving experience, I am sure it would make me cry. Thank you for such a good description. I really enjoy your blog. Keep safe, Helen Ryan
Graphic description You sure did the scene justice with your description Jason. There's many a dark period in our past history but when you think of it,, surely this must be THE darkest/
In Britain we were seeing pictures of the poor prisoners, swollen bellies, emaciated bodies, looks of despair on their faces and those were the few who somehow survived. It's really horrifying -- I agree and so very disturbing. At the same time, I think it's also important that people should SEE the evidence of Nazi barbarism and be thankful to God for the brave souls that sacrificed their lives to put an end to it. Armistice Day will soon be here --REMEMBER THEM.
Tartars When we were kids -- a little while ago -- and we weren 't doing what we should --happened occasionally -- our parents would say we were 'Tartars' --name was synonymous with BAD Can't say I've heard the expression here.
The dark days of Europe Hi Jason:
Your're reliving some of the dark history of Europe -- interesting and absorbing to see the sites if the dark deeds. Very tragic.
Just listening to the testimony of Decker the sole survivor of the helicopter crash --he's very good at recounting the experience. You'll no doubt read the media a/cs.
Take care --don't get robbed. Nan
Good luck on the train!
Sure isn't your man bag like "unstealable?" Pack all the important stuff in there...like Fanta.
On a related note, you should do a commercial or something for that man bag, if it is still the same one, cause that's lasted forever.
umbrella Hard to believe that thing is still going if it's the same one...I believe I ditched mine somewhere in Bosnia or Slovenia...both mom and dad called today (from home and NY), they must be missing you, lol.
hahahahahaha....the self cleaning toilets....they used to have them in Seattle...but ended up having problems with them being used by prostitutes in lieu of a hotel room...and got rid of them :)
Berlin How I wish I was young enough to travel through Europe again --completely fascinating, following your travel story Jason --next best thing! Hear there was a bear knocking on the windows in Yellowknife last night -- SCARY.
Access to blog Here I am now. Can't understand why Google kept telling me there was no such place! I'll be following along with you as you go Jason, looking forward to your commentaries and photos. Thanks, Nan
Hi Hi Jason, I love reading your blog and you give great descriptions of the places and things you see. Hope you have a great trip and I look forward to seeing more of Europe through your eyes!!! Take care of yourself, Helen Ryan
