Visa bills

We are still in Gommern, Germany getting our visas in order to make the trans-Siberian trip to Asia, and to travel around Asia. It’s a pain and a lot of money – involving multiple trips to consulates in Berlin – but I assume it will all be worth it to cross Russia and Mongolia to China, and then visit places like Vietnam and Cambodia (all of which require visas!)

We are also excited to have my parents visiting. We spent a lovely week together exploring Gommern and the Harz. Now they are in Prague and will return for the weekend before they leave (from Berlin.)

For those who haven’t seen the blog lately, the next entry is a summary (or a bit more than a summary) of our summer bike trip, and the links to the full photo albums are on the left of this page. For those who have been keeping up (anyone? anyone?) I also just added some additional observations from the summer tour further down the page (dated August 20, after the next entry.) Enjoy!

    I just finished reviewing another grant applicaton and then logged on to see your email. How much more exciting can it be going around the world than writing about trying to change the world?! Well Im still very excited to read about your travels. How has seeing the planet changed you, your thinking, your view of the world? Whats been the impact of seeing so many cultures and ways that people live, survive, and thrive? And when if ever are you gonna visit boring NY?
