Parents from the port as we departed from Nassau.
The first picture I took on the ship, which is really incredible, because those girls (Trish, Katie, and Andrea) are still my closest friends on board.
Andrea and me in a bull fight arena... we're so hardcore.
This is what we saw randomly one night in Spain.
This was our reaction. I love this picture.
Morocco markets...
Snake charmers in the Moroccan markets. After this they demanded money. I gave them coins and ran before they put another on my head!The video is from Neptune Day, when it is traditional to shave ones head. I didn't go that far, but I did do Locks of Love, as did my friend Andrea.
Us, post haircuts.
Namibia, after sandboarding. One of the coolest things I've done.
On the way to Kruger, we had a fantastic pilot who allowed us to visit the cockpit. It was a great start to the trip.
Kruger...
More Kruger...
This picture is from Kayelitsha, which I'm misspelling currently but is spelled better in a previous email. Its a township in South Africa. These places are huge firehazards. This township is huge, housing 500,000 people.
The beach in Mauritius - a true paradise on the water.
The four girls after an afternoon of beach and snorkeling.
Sunset over an open ocean...
India - even their dolls are Hindu - this is Ganesh. (that may be spelled wrong too)
In our Tuk Tuk headed to Ganga (Ganges) River.
These are the street merchants who completely changed my India experience. They really broke my heart and changed my perspective on India. Ajar, Pejer, and R.J.
Sunrise over the Ganga.
Not sure if this picture will be large enough to see what it says "Fortunate are the people who reside on the banks of the ganga."
Oh the Taj.
One again, not sure if this picture is too small to be as funny as it is. Andrea and me with three men from Afganistan who wanted a picture with us. The one in the "use a condom" shirt is in the US Special Forces and moving to Virginia in the fall.
This building is an homage to true love. It was built as a tomb for a king's beloved wife. The story goes that it was love at first site and that she died giving birth to their 13th or 14th child. She asked three things of him when she died: 1. Do not remarry (to protect her children's right to rule) 2. Take care of her children 3. Build her a tomb. He did an incredible job.
Islands off of Phuket. James Bond, Dr. No was filmed here years and years ago.
In the jungle in Thailand.
Betsy, Kate and me after a night in the markets of Bangkok.
I GOT TO SEE ART AND IT WAS AMAZING. (I went to high school with her. It was so exciting.)
Cambodia: Angkor Watt at sunrise. The pictures from Cambodia and not at Angkor Watt are too depressing to post here. If anyone wants to be thoroughly depressed about what humanity is capable of doing to one another, I have a few pictures of that too.
Betsy and I, taking in the Angkor Watt experience. I got to know Betsy in Thailand and roomed with her once again in Cambodia. She rocks. We're goofs.
Me, going into the Cu Chi Tunnels. (Surreal.)Well thats about it for now...more later!
