aggienaut | Back to Orange County

(By the delightful miss

whirled.)

Which is to say I'm back in my native habitat ... for about two weeks. Then I should be skipping from city to city again, via sail. Other than these two weeks it looks like I could be posting every single LJI entry from a different city (:

Fortunately I did not actually forget my keys. I DID however keep forgetting my cell phone recharger (had to buy a new one in New York and then forgot THAT one when I went to Philly), and the USB cable for downloading pictures from my camera (I have two at home but forgot to bring one, bought one in Istanbul, it got left in Tel Aviv, had to buy ANOTHER one in Cairo)...

In wildly unrelated news, we're having an interesting meta discussion about categorization of blog entries over at

amalie_, who was also on the Middle East trip, is now blogging about it and posting her pictures ... but it's all friends-only ... so go friend her! :D

Picture of the Day

View of the Bosporus from Topkapi Palace, Istanbul.

The picture posting can begin in earnest now. (:

I took 870 pictures total over the month. In past epic trips though I only end up uploading about 1/6th of the pictures.

Bonus snail outtake!
