Hello. Welcome to my travel blog. It's a little about my travels and mostly about my thoughts that I have while traveling - because you can find out more about the places I am going with a simple internet search than I could type in days and days.
In the old days I maintained an email list (ha that was the old days) and I would send mail to people. This trip I tried to just post on facebook, but not everybody has facebook (gasp) and it doesn't really allow for deeper thoughts to be shared (that character limit thing).
So time to try a travel blog. We'll see how it goes. If you know me, you know I already have taken a summer trip through Europe and then a year long excursion around the world - mostly designed to keep me in summer weather for an entire year. Essentially you are coming in on the middle of my travels.
I am currently in St. Petersburg, Russia. Sitting in the soon to be kitchen of my host here (she is fixing up her new flat (that's an apartment, americans) and the kitchen has no appliances except a refrigerator and a 1 burner plug in portable stove which doesn't turn off and needs to be unplugged when not in use. She also has a microwave and we have been able to do fine as far as food preparation. We do have to clean up in the bathroom as facebook friends will know. Here's the kitchen for you visually oriented people.

Anyway, i will be here another week and then I will leave for Helsinki finland to basically have dinner with another friend before I hop the baltic on a ferry to Tallinn, Estonia. Then I will wander down through Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland to Germany where I will stay in a friends house and use that as a base for some European excursions.
I will try to post here enough to make it interesting. I will try to be interesting enough to be worth reading. If not, well, it's your time after all ;)
