Overdue overview

Welcome to my first foray into the blogosphere! The impetus: the relative temporal and spatial proximity of another Todi reunion and my friend Ferakh's wedding provided mutual justification for a couple weeks in Turkey and another in Pakistan in June-July 2005. I had originally intended to post semi-regularly during my travels, but circumstances conspired to warp and delay the timeline of postings. A semblance of coherence may best be achieved by reading from the bottom up.

See the sidebar for links to individual posts. Those averse to excess verbiage may prefer the pictorial version below:

• Turkey 1: Istanbul and Turkey 2: Cappadocia [link temporarily goes to both Turkey 1 and Turkey 2 photos] span the week-long adventures of our merry band of seven, first in not-Constantinople and then in fairy-chimney-land.
  
• Turkey 3: The Coast covers our cruise along the Lycian coast and final few days in Kusadasi, including Turkish weddings both spontaneous and planned.
  
• Karachi: Ferakh & Murtaza [link temporarily down] follows my first visit to the subcontinent, to Muslim country #2 for Muslim wedding #3!
• Some of my photos are nabbed from others; the artistically inclined may wish to browse more of Richard's excellent collection [link temporarily down].

Bye till the next trip!
