On my photo web site, I've selected a few photos from each country to highlight. Scroll down to the middle of the page, and, if you have Google Earth installed, you should see a map of the world.
You'll also see little green smiley balloons scattered across the world. They more or less track my path.
Considering the time that I was gone, and the miles that I traveled, it makes me feel small to see that most of the world is still empty.

Photos...
OK. So ALL of my photos are finally uploaded, rotated, and commented. Please enjoy.
There are 3201 of them, taken over 221 days, +/- 1 day, that I was out of the US. (That's 14.5 photos per day, for those of you doing the math.)
As always, follow the link to the right, and let me know if you have any problems with it.

Woo-Hoo! I can leave the country again!
I have received my passport from the processing center. I needed new visa pages. I tried to get the pages in Prague, but the embassy was out of the pages. I tried in Berlin, but that turned into a longer story than I really need to relate.
I scanned in all of the pages before I sent it away. Should the passport have been lost in the mail, I would still have the images of all of my visas...
But I was pleased to note that the text is in English, French, and now Spanish. The extra pages are lettered, instead of numbered. And they go in the middle of the passport.
Just things that I hope will inspire you all...

I haven't forgotten...
I have uploaded all of the photos. They are all rotated, but not all are commented.
I have completed the comments for everything through Barcelona. Check out La Sagrada Familia. I've put a lot of comments into that to show you how things fit together...
I hope to have the rest of the comments finished in the following couple of weeks...

Grocery Shopping...
So last night was the first time that I had to go to the grocery store alone.
I forgot how to grocery shop. Not that I ran into anything with the cart, but I wasn't sure what should go on the list. I found the Spaghettios, not to worry.
I did find myself looking at something, and thinking, "Will I be here long enough to use this?"
It's still odd for me to think that I will stay someplace more than two nights.
I was floored by the aisles and aisles of food. Institutional-sized cans of peaches. Instant mashed potatoes. With cheese if you want it. Whole wheat white bread that doesn't have the level of fiber of the regular whole wheat bread. The high prevalence of high frutose corn syrup in everything from crackers to applesauce. I may not get used to this...
On the upside, I took Buster to the farmer's market. He was quite well behaved, although that may be the result of the dog treats. He received many pats, and scratches behind the ears. He also sniffed a few other dogs too. All in all, a good time had by all...
