OTHER TRAVELS

I went to a few places at a time when I wasn't blogging. At the time I was still carrying a paper journal, of all things, and writing by hand in them. Shudder. Anyway, I decided later, well after the trip, to transcribe my old journals for the blog. (Please forgive the titles! I was reading about SEO and just had it on my mind.)
