Many of the pictures are cool, but many of you, my faithful legion of minions, weren’t there and may not appreciate them immediately upon viewing. For this reason, and because of my compulsive drive to never actually get any schoolwork done, I have taken the time to add a few nuggets of ridiculousness and some Wikipedia links in the descriptions for albums and individual photos. However, there are also plenty of bland, informative descriptions, so beware.

I wish I had the time and the memory to say something clever or interesting about each of the photographs I put up. And I wish I knew more about the history of each of the places I visited. But I also wish I had more time to see each of the things I saw, and to see other places, and I kind of just wish I was back over there right now. The moral of the story is: going places is cool, and part of the coolness is just being there. You can’t capture it all and take it home with you.
