The First Half of 2009 in a Nutshell

I was in Turkey of course. Hanging out with friends in Taksim.


Pınar and I went out to our now favorite restaurant.


Visited more friends in İstanbul.


Pınar holding Eşref Armağan's (blind Turkish painter) depiction of the Van Monster.

To see more of his works go here.

...and Sasha from my hometown was sitting behind me on the flight home from Paris.

Now I am about to embark on the next and last great adventure for a while...
2 or 3 weddings, 4 or 5 countries, and 40-something days.

...

dum dum dum dum dum DUMMMMMMMM!!!
