Glad you & Kim got together It has been fun for me to read about your visits in Turkey. I especially enjoyed reading about your visit with Kim in Antalya. It looks like a very beautiful area by the sea. I'm so glad you got together and enjoyed your meeting. I'll be looking forward to reading and seeing your new adventures in Cairo.
WOW!!! The pictures and your commentary are WONDERFUL!!! It's the best way to live vicariously through you so keep it coming. It is wonderful to hear about your travels, your impression of things and the pictures are a great add on. I'm sure they don't do it justice, but they make me want to travel!!! Hope you guys are having a great time and enjoying soaking it all up!!!!
Don't leave us hanging... So, why are al the trees pinted white on the bottom? Is tipping customary in Turkey? Why are so many men walking arm in arm?
I love your journal entries! Keep 'em coming!
I've been fooled Wow, I can't believe all of your adventures! Did you slay the beach beast? Or did you just fight him but let him live?
I can't put into words how duped and cheated I felt when I found out that the prize jewel of all the DVDs that Randell left with me was nothing but an empty box. Yes, I'm talking about "Gumby: 8 full-length episodes." I won't forget this, Randell.
Putting my bitterness aside, I hope you two enjoy Cairo! My sister and her husband said that people there would rear-end each other all the time, and that they'd just get out of their cars, scream for a while, and be on their way. I'm curious to hear your impression of the drivers there.
Nice Work! Wow, Randy! You're quite the Narrator! Who knew?! :O) The pictures are awesome and it looks like you are having lots of fun. Keep updating us. It's great to here from you. Have fun!
Wonderful I wish I were there visiting the sites with you. I would love to see this stuff in person. Thank you for sharing your travel stories with us.
Very Cool! Now we can travel vicariously to Turkey and on...great job sharing your adventures with us. Thank you so much! Make my day - take photos of hot peppers where ever you see them.
Dear Jenny and Randy, Sheelagh sent us your blog address and so we are following your trip with excitement. We will live vicariously through your blogs. Much love to you and we will be excited to receive the next installment. Love to you both, Gary and Pat Coad
Hey good to hear from you! Randy,
Thanks for the interesting narrative and great pictures. Reading abut your travels I realize your adventure is for young people and not for Susan and I. It would just to too tough on us! I am glad you are doing some major traveling now at your age. I really am enjoying your writing! We would love to have you visit us here in Kauai,and of course Jenny if your travels take you into the Pacific Ocean.
I haven't bought my new Nikon yet but am getting close. Last week we had friends from CA visiting and were expecting Susan's second cousin from Sweden tomorrow. Gosta got a very bad allergic reaction and they will not be coming. We hope when he recovers they will be able to visit us on this little round island.
Keep the updates and pictures coming!

Awesome! Great photos, great commentary! What a treat to see and read about your trip in real time. Quite a change from South America in 1978 with no internet and phones far and few between and usually non-functional. Favorite photos: Jenny in scarf, Randy in fez.
Just when it felt like everyone was getting married and buying a house, we quit our jobs, bought one-way tickets to Africa, and squeezed our lives into the smallest packs known to any Army surplus store. Friends and family offer predictions from "the best time of your lives" to "the beginning of your rapid descent into poverty." Lucky for us, they're not mutually exclusive.
And so, armed only with humility, humor, and a big can of DEET, we're off to the land of goatmilk and honeywine. We hope to meet some friendly faces, learn about the *other* Africa beyond the headlines, and fumble our wa... full info
