I was on my way from Sarajevo to the Croatian coast, with a quick
stopover in Mostar. Before hopping the bus, I had to visit the

pictographs of a man or a woman to help you choose no [...]
In Dubrovnik (DBV) today....amazing, amazing city....will start the

I'm onboard the ferry to Korcula and had time to take this quick shot I originally planned to quickly pass thru Orebic, but I liked it so
much I stayed for the day. As you can [...]
Quick view from the only restaurant near the beach at Trstenica (on the Adriatic sea, town of Orebic, just across the channel from Korcula.)

the residents fled when bad guys came to town.) [...]
I saw this protest in one of the main squares. The banner says, That the locals are anti-NATO makes sense, but accompanying the banner
was a photo exhibit with English translations detailing NATO
atrocities in the Balkans, even intimating that we were collaborating [...]

"I've got a tight connection. I'm going to have to do an OJ Simpson

Am sitting on the Zurich bound plane having just [...]

I took 320 pictures while in SF, with the vast majority featuring bridges, Alcatraz, or water.
While in SF, I caught up with a bunch of buddies from Darden (grad school). It always amazes me when our Darden class gathers how smoothly and positively we connect. You wouldn't have known that we all had ever split up after school or gotten older,,,,unless [...] 
Here's something you don't see everyday: a street band featuring bongos, an electric guitar, and a DIGERIDOO!(it's apparently a rock digeridoo, but not amplified. I can report, though, that the combined sound was pretty good, and drew a good size crowd.)
This was [...]

Perfect day for flying from CHO (Charlottesville) to SFO. (via Charlotte.)One odd story so far: I brought an orange to eat on the trip, and asked the TSA security screener if I needed to eat it before passing thru security. The screener - with full seriousness [...]
