Guesses?

That is my left hand showing below. Anybody care to guess where it is?

Seen

One week…

It’s hard to believe that in just over a week I will be back in Weimar.

So much done, so much yet to do.

Disconnected

The attack at the US Consulate in Istanbul got me thinking last night.

Generally speaking I try to avoid official US Embassies and Consulates whilst traveling as they generally do not make me feel especially safe. There’s always tons of paranoid security afraid of photography, loitering, and human beings in general.
