wish I were there I have never been back to my birthplace Budapest so I am thrilled to see pictures and blogs by you. It has been very cold here in the northern suburb of Chicago. Lots of snow. Have a cup of expresso on me and a bowl of Halaszve (fish soup). I escaped the Russians in 1956 by escaping through Austria and I can still remember bullits flying all around us. Thank you for the pictures and your blogs. Kathy
GOOOOOOOd Beer in Germany That is so interesting about Berlin. I cannot tell if you spelled the names of all those places right. Doesn't much matter. very cool.......Have Fun Be safe.. Marti
Looks chilly. Wow, those fireworks look incredible! I gotta admit, though... it looks pretty chilly. I'm assuming that you blew off some kick ass fireworks yourself... or at least you plan on smuggling some home.
Ah, you guys are wearing those stylish ski caps, like the dudes wear here in San Diego!! :) Makes me miss the cold weather, but I'm guessing you guys might be missing the warm weather right about now. Looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait to see you guys!
Whoa... Nice entry! That looks like fun, even the freezing weather. I miss wearing coats and sweaters. When you bundle up like that, you don't have to work out!!! :) Drink a warm beer for me. Can't wait to see you guys back in the States.

You guys are so Smart Hey guys you guys are so smart. I do not know how you remember all the facts, dates and names. This trip is amazing as you are Love YOU marti
Queen Hatshepsut's got a better patch! Rich, it appears from your picture of the statue of Queen Hatshepsut, that she has fuller chin whiskers than you!
Is "Queen" a reference to a lifestyle-preference?
Looking good on that camel, Brittany!
hunting... humans! "The lions were removed from their mothers at a very young age and interact with humans daily as they learn how to hunt." Uhh.... WHAT?? Crazy!!
rains in Africa Bull elephants are the largest creatures that walk the earth so NO, you are not safe! And petting lions with only little sticks as protection?? LET's GET BACK TO AMERICA PRONTO!!
Beautiful Waterfall! Hi Rich,
What a gorgeous waterfall..............man, you've been gone for more than a year now.......AWESOME!!!!
When do we get the South Africa update??

Beauty I remember the beauty of Vietnam during the war and this reminds me of it. However, this looks far more peaceful and sophisticated. Also it looks quiet - not many people around. Thank you for the picture.
What an experience! Brit and Rich, glad to see that you guys are really enjoying yourselves. Love reading your blog. Almost feels like I was there with you....almost! Continue to have a great experience and I'll enjoy reading about them. Take care! Hugs!!!
Daady and Marti Oh my God, The beauty of these pictures and the colors are breath taking. I will have to sit and read these for hours. You look like you are having a blast.
Get Google Earth If you guys havent done it yet, get Google Earth and you can really follow along where Rich is going/has been. It's free and pretty cool.
Pictures versus narrative Everything looks modern, but the narrative of riding a boat, bus and hiking as well as the food stores tells a different story. Very interesting.
After much debate, some planning, and quite a bit of saving the dream has turned into reality. Tune in to read about my tales of adventure and misadventure as I travel around this great big world in search of some surf, sun, and some crazy times. Wish you were here.... full info
