Its been worth the long wait for your next batch of photos. I'm so glad that the Istanbul shots got fixed. I particularly like being on the terrace with you guys, and seeing all the different views of the houses, the Bosphorus, and the blue mosque. And then, the great shots of Ephesus, the two teasers of Antalya - and then...
Rhodes is really beautiful - you get its medievalness, its Greekness, its Ottomanness, the sea and the walls. And of course the cats. Makes me really want to go. And as soon as I saw your shots of the Venetian castle in Rethymnon I was brought back to my visit there in 1974 - what great views of the sea from that place. What I had forgotten is how beautiful Rethymnon itself was.
Again, thanks so much for the richness and immediacy of these photographs. Can't wait to read the accompanying blog about the Greek Islands.

Rebecca,
Thanks so much for the wonderful photographs of Romania - both the Miklosvar shots and the shots of the Bucovina monasteries and countryside. The shots of the monasteries are better than anything I have seen in any albums. I particularly like the seraphi (is that plural for seraphim?) in four different churches - the ones in Arbore I did not see when I was there, and wish I did. Your photos, like Scott's will keep all this alive for me forever.

What wonderful photos of the mountains, Bratislava (those weird and marvelous sculptures) and Budapest. And Rebecca, your blog was so relaxing. What a funny feeling, a little more than half way through your trip - happy about coming home and so sad about the fact that the trip will not go on for ever!
Can't wait to see you in Bucharest.
Love, Dad

Rebecca,
Olomouc seems wonderful. I'm so interested in how Eastern Europe is going to seem and feel in comparison to where you have been. Keep us posted.

I hope that the Jew half of you was a little uncomfortable in Germany. And if not, you at least at some point were thinking, "Man, if Dan Berman was here, he would feel totally uncomfortable." I kid. I kid cuz I love. I hope you are having a great time in Prague. I hear it is incredible.

Hi There!
Rebecca, when you post a new blog, it is like my favorite magazine has just come in the mail. I delight in sitting here with my coffee and reading your news before I start my day. I am glad for you to be having this experience!

Rebecca, your writing is one third literary, one third social criticism, and one third great travel guide material. I recognized Amsterdam in your blog very well, especially the bicycles and the boats in the canals. I really like how you look at the people.
I also like how you are experiencing time and allowing your trip to shape your sense of temporality.
Of course, I won't ask you about how good the dope was.

Didn't I tell you to listen to you mother about Pairs?!? I am delighted to read about the pleasure you are taking in being in that beautiful city; Paris, the city of lovers.
Love,

Hi again, where's the photo of the naked, tottooed man?
Elizabeth Collins
I have a big smile on my face after reading about Paris. You have taken me back to 1991, when I was young and beautiful, and Mal and I spent over 5 weeks there. I found it is all that you say and perhaps you have some unexpected adventures ahead there. It is exhausting because there is always one more thing to do, or cafe to go to, before ending your day.
Love you,
Betty
