Pre-boarding

It's called Two Minutes in Turkey because that's the purpose of the trip.

If I take 7500 images (I took 6600 on last spring's trip) and they average 1/60 of a second, that's 125 seconds. . . . Actually, the pictures are usually faster than that (1/100 or 1/200 of a second) but the arithmetic works out better at 1/60.

I'll be adding lots of natterings about what we see and what we reflect upon what we see to these reports and a lot more pictures than I did last year---

I mean, Duh! Digital camera, e-mail 17 or so longish reports home-- and hardly any pictures at all.

Hmmmmmmmmm.


But I won't have the Mad Albanian Shopping Goddess with me this year-- she's taking the extreme step of traveling with her very own husband this year--

They are hitting a conference in Budapest the last week of April and then heading out for about a month-- Albania and Romania mostly. She'll be filling up the car again, I'm sure.

Probably nothing more will get written before the trip actually begins, but I wanted to set up the web site now and post the first article (without pictures--- hell, I'm sitting in North Seattle) and so I now have a place on the web to refer you all to.
