Well, I've been procrastinating getting my pictures together or even figuring out how to talk about my epic whirlwind 3-week trip through those 5 countries, but now that it's been a month since I've returned, here is an album of 500 pictures:
http://picasaweb.google.com/jason.m.bro ... rnOdyssey#I had almost 6000 originally and it took a while just to cull these down and add captions and have it hang together and suit a variety of different audiences (e.g., pictures my family would be interested in vs. co-workers vs. friends). I'd rather put an even more limited version together for BFCers along with more specific stories and stuff, but I just don't have the energy for now.
The memories have become even more surreal lately in lieu of the elections. This chaos that is happening we could totally sense was coming when we were there a month ago based on our conversations with the younger people in the cities.
I'll try to do a trip report of some sort at some point, but for now, enjoy and comments and questions welcome.
