Not Constantinople

I originally designed this site to share photos of my trip to Turkey and Bulgaria in 2005 (hence the name) But as I'm currently living in London, this seems like the perfect place to share general updates and specific antecdotes...without running up my phone bill.

Introduction

Using my beloved friend Stephanie (dedicated Peace Corps volunteer that she is) as an excuse to skip the country for awhile, I cashed in a bunch of frequent flyer miles for a direct flight from Chicago to Istanbul on Friday April 8th, 2005. I spent 5 days in Istanbul before boarding a bus to Varna, Bulgaria where Steph is currently volunteering. I stayed for a week, during which we celebrated her birthday twice. Then it was back on the bus, and back to Istanbul for another 3 1/2 days. I got back to Chicago yesterday afternoon.

During the course of my trip I took 454 photos with my digitial camera. The main purpose of this blog, at least for now, is to show off my favorite photos.

There are some constraints as I am working primarily from a Mac (lovely, amazing machine) but I'll work out the bugs as I go along.

I will gladly answer any questions that you have about a particular picture - and you know that I could talk for hours about my trip, but I'll save that for the next time I see you in person.
