Just got back from a quick trip down to the Georgia coast. I always appreciate that our coastline is largely (though, not completely) free of development as much of Florida’s coast has been… shall we say… raped. Related Images:

South Caucasus 2019
The 3 countries of the South Caucasus region comprise a small strip of land between the Caspian & Black Seas and are all the stand between 3 great world powers of Russia, Turkey & Iran. Granted 2 of them aren’t what they used to be, but they remember their greatness and power and still try…
Qick Stop in Qatar
Started off my last trip with a layover in Qatar, which only makes sense because I was flying Qatar Airlines. Enough good cannot be said about Qatar Airlines Business Class. It is excellent.

日本 – 第1週
Or… Japan – Week 1 It has been an intense week with lots of new experiences, not the least of which was spending the night in a Buddhist monastery, but I am now relaxing in the Ryokan Kurashiki with a self-paced day. In a bit I will go see the oldest museum of Western art in…
