For the last series of Saturdays I have pulled out some old blogs and reflected on my first journey to West Africa. You might think that after contracting malaria in Burkina Faso and the difficult time I had during the trip in general, I’d be sworn off the place. You’d be wrong! After my 1999 …
Today’s post I’m looking at a few museums I’ve visited (and one that I haven’t) that were a little bit different for one reason or another. The world is full of museums, and it’s not very hard to tire of them after seeing a few. Well, here are some that might keep your interest as …
Howdy all on this fine Sunday! I hope you’re well wherever you may be.

I visited Lac Leman, in Savoie on the French and Swiss borders in …

Welcome to the sunniest of Sunday Spotlights, concluding this week’s look at Central Asia. Samarkand is a city full of rich history and beautiful Islamic architecture. Bukhara has a more clear distinction between old and new cities, but Samarkand’s ancient treasures seem to be weaved into the modern city a lot more than the equally …
Howdy again. Just for one little day I’m taking a break from the Central Asia theme and returning to the ongoing story of my time in West Africa in 2006, reviewing my old blog entries and reacting to reading them again. And we’re at the tipping point today, when I contracted malaria. Actually it’s been …
