Crazy Drivers
I think this picture illustrates the general idea. There you are being all aggressive and passing some slowpoke, when much to your surprise... you are the slowpoke!
How many crazy people can you get in the back Kia?
More pics are up
1758km to Irkutsk... this was a sobering sign. Of course, the fact that there was a sign held the promise of reasonable roads...
Sadly, those reasonable roads soon disappeared and turned into multiple 70km stretches of this crud:
Anyway, after two days of driving we finally arrived in Irkutsk. A nice enough city, but they seem to have a problem with people in wheelchairs...
After Irkutsk, we hit lake Baikal, which apparently was a triumphant moment for me...
Fast forward to Ulan Bataar, where the Brits and I carried on the tradition of stupidity by climbing the welcome sign. Climbing While Theo? Nope, no injuries. I'm the dot on the left.
And finally, the Lada is delivered to the orphanage outside of UB. The old man waits anxiously for me to leave so he can take her for a spin.

The Lada has a new home
The orphanage was surprisingly nice looking -- nestled in a green valley, with lots of space around it. We pulled up to the administrative office, and immediately a cluster of old men were very interested in the Lada. One wanted the stereo, and another to take the car for a spin. Turns out that Ladas are very rare in Mongolia... I haven't seen one since we arrived.
After getting past the gauntlet and taking some farewell pictures of the Lada, I handed over the paperwork and keys and got the official "you've delivered the car" stamp... so now we're Lada-less. I'm actually a bit sad to see her go... we've been through so much together, and the car has been nearly flawless.
Irkutsk to Ulaan Baatar or Ulan Bator or Ulan Batar or something
The Russia -> Mongolia crossing was reasonably easy... got to the boarder around 2pm, and out around 7. The line to get into the line to get out of Russia (yes, a line for a line) was very disorganized, but after chatting up one of the border guards (Andrew, who spoke english!) we managed to sort things out and get into the next line.
Once in the actual line we got a new set of border guards, who were very very puzzled by the transit tags on the Lada. But after 45 minutes and a bunch of calling around to see what they should do with/to me, they decided to let me through with a stern warning never to bring this car into russia again. Ok. :)

Location confirmed...
All in all, UB is a great city so far... it's cheap, and everything we need is readily accessible. Except a SIM... working on that.
Lots of new pics of Novosibirsk -> UB to come once I get home.

Theo's in Ulan Battor
We've been in the news!

More Pictures
Made Irkutsk
Speaking of transit tags... 95% of the cars on the M-53 going west (against us) were brand new cars with transit tags. It's amazing that it's cheaper to destroy the cars over rutted muddy roads than to stick 'em on a train.
Oh, and big albino mosquitos everywhere. Somehow their albinoness makes them more threatening... I think you can see the stinger better. Anyway, DEET FTW. And despite the annoyances, Siberia is very beautiful.
Now we're off to the Mongolian border, and hopefully to UB tomorrow. We have about 700km to the border, and 350 more to UB. Go Lada go.
p.s. Pot grows wild on the side of the road in part of Siberia. Who would have guessed??? No, I didn't roll it an smoke it. :)

Mongolia or Bust!
- August 22: Alex went bust when I had to fly back to work from Novosibirsk (but I have now taken a hot shower in my very own bathroom, and that almost made the 17 hour flight on three separate airplanes worth it) and then there was one.
- Theo and the LADA are still going strong. I am now convinced that the Lada is capable of just going forever, deliver her to the poor Mongolians, Theo - they certainly aren't getting a better car our of this rally!
Made it to Barnaul, Russia and caught up with a couple of other teams to keep Theo company on the way to Mongolia (including Dan and Simon, who had managed to escape Camp Baku to Turkmenistan a few days before the rest of us left for Kazakhstan)
All terrain Lada
After this brief interlude (which was also the closest thing I got to a shower during the three days in Kazakhstan), we were faced with a choice: our map said that we needed to get Norht to the town of Aktogai, we could take the direct route there, but the locals had warned that the road was bad, or we could take a roughly 250 km detour. In the stupid spirit of the rally, we obviously went straight. Over the next three hours, we were driving along the singularily worst stretch of road I had seen so far on the trip.
It wasn't really that the were a lot of pot holes (of course there were), the real problem was that the road had turned itself into a giant washboard, that was threatening to completely shake the car loose. Eventually, I realized that the washboard was actually the worst in places that were more heavily trafficed, so I first started trying to pick parts of the road that had received less traffic. This shortly turned to simply trying to drive next to the road surface as opposed to on it whenever I could see the surface well enough. As if to underscore just how screwed we would be if the car had broken down or anything else had gone wrong, over the course of the three hour drive, I did not see a single other car on the "road" and I saw something resembling a settlement once.
Theo, however, slept comfortably (we had been on the road for approaching 36 hours straight at that point):
Eventually, we reached another settlement, roughly where I thought Aktogai should have been, and I thought our off-roading days were done. This was once again proven thoroughly incorrect - Aktogai was still 18km away, and getting there now involved following tracks through open fields and meadows. Conveniently enough, there were actually people to give us directions in some of the most obscure places in these fields.
And then, we hit pavement again, and there was much rejoicing!
The final slap in the face came when we realized that our map had been copmletely wrong and we didn't need to go to Aktogai at all, and the paved route, that we thought was a detour would have actually been shorter... oh well, by then I felt being lost for 4 hours on unpaved roads in the empty middle of Kazakhstan was well within the spirit of the rally! The rest of the drive to the Russian border was fairly unremarkable, except for plenty more stretches of terrible roads, of course. And the Lada, for the record, came through the gravel washboard none the worse for it - these cars were built for this!

How to eat Mexican food in Azerbaijan!
This photo is from our group as we boarded our ship to Kazakhstan. By this point Simon and Dan had already left us as we discovered the day before that they in fact had VISA's for Turkministan the entire time. Woops. Pictured here are Tommy (125cc Motorcycle), Rambo (Suzuki SJ), Henry (Citron 2CV), Oliver (Rover Metro), Alex (Lada), Jamie (Suzuki SJ), Drew (Rover Metro), Hugh (Rover Metro), Cyrus (Lada), Theo (Lada), Elenor (2CV), and Bart (Bicycle)
So on one of the more frustrating days we had to go get our VISA's renewed since we had stayed long enough so Alex, Theo, Tommy and I wondered around town until we found the Ministry of Security (I think) and stood in line to get VISA's. While there we ran into the Pandit family bringing the count to six stranded Americans with expired passports. They had actually been in the process of boarding their plan when they were told their VISA's had expired the day before and they couldn't leave until they were extended.
The next day I got a text message from them inviting us to Mexican food for dinner. Me and Theo jumped on that invite. Well ok it actually took us almost two hours to get there but that was super fast in Azerbaijanian time. On the way over Theo asked how they were cooking Mexican food without a kitchen so when we showed up at their hotel we laughed because they had taken over the hotels kitchen to make Mexican food. When we arrived the food was almost ready and the staff at the hotel was extremely curios and seemed to have never seen Mexican food before. All told there were nine of us eating and everyone helped show the locals how to make Taco's. My favorite part of the meal though had to be when they grabbed some flat bread to put on the table since you simply cannot eat a meal in Beku without flat bread.
Pictured here is Neelima, Theo, Salil, Cyrus, and Anjuli. In the background is the hotel Concierge who was pretty cool and helped out with everything we needed and mastered Mexican food after just a few taco's. Well I'm being liberal with the term mastered. Due to my crappy memory I can't remember his name right now but I'm sure Salil will remind me. Neelima lives in Kazakhstan with her husband who was working and couldn't make the trip but Salil and Anjuli are going to college in the US. They also gave us lots of advice for navigating Kazakhstan and told us some great stories about both the current and past trips they had been on. This is one well traveled family, they got me beat hands down and I'm up to 30 something countries.
The next day we all "dressed" up and put in an appearence at the office of the folks who owned the ferries. They were more interested in figuring out how we managed to find them than actually talking to us and told us point blank that it wasn't financially viable to send a ferry to Kazakhstan right now so we would be stuck for at least another week. The person on the right is Simon. He was a local expat working for the AFP as a field journalist and tried to help us broker a deal with the ferry owners. But at the end of the day we knew we had failed.
Later that day the Pandit family invited all of us to go to a local restaurant called Chanek Kala so we showed up in four cabs and sat down to a table of 16. The place was this absolutely amazing outdoor restaurant that could literally seat 200 easily. It had a giant dancing area with load music. I of course left my camera at home (Customs lot) but hopefully we'll get pictures of it soon and I'll edit this blog. We had just gotten news that Simon and Dan had VISA's and would be leaving the next day so we celebrated their good fortune. Maybe a bit in excess. By the end of the night I was sure that the Pandit family would never talk to us again and that we were on a permanent ban list at Chanek Kala but it was a great evening. Food for 16, 25ish bottles of beer & 7 large bottles of Vodka put the total bill at $208. The place was amazing. We had all assumed we were in for $30 - $40 each by the time the meal was over.
I texted Neelima the next day and apologized for how rowdy we got and she told me not to worry. That was quite a releaf. We then got a call from the Ferry Management office telling us they were sending a ferry for us the next day so we were in high spirits. We still don't know why the ferry came but we all doubt it was actually because of us. Unless you include the MASSIVE disturbence we made when we returned from Chanek Kala in the wee hours of the morning... So went back to Chanek Kala that night expecting to get turned away but instead they immidiatly seated us and started bringing Vodka which we turned away as we'd given our boddies enough abuse for the day.
Playing the stupid American card
We first tried this tactic during the effort to get Cyrus into Kazakstan and it failed, but other than that, it was amazingly successful and very amusing. Alex forced himself to mix random english words into his Russian sentences, and look as confused as possible when asked questions. The end result was the quickest border crossing we've had yet, with the customs guy actually filling out my customs form for me, in duplicate. Stupid American.
We'll see how it works at the next border crossing... back into Russia.
Uzbekistan to Almaty... an interesting 15 hours
We ended up in Kazakhstan at 10pm with very little gas. Alex asked the Kazak border guards (in broken Russian, but that's another story) for the nearest gas station. When we arrived there, it had no gas! We met some local folks who were in the same predicament, and walked around with them, looking for gas. (it's not uncommon for folks to have water bottles full of gas lying around for sale.) No dice. One gas station said they hadn't had gas in 20 days! Isn't Kazakhstan sitting on a ton of oil??? Anyway... in the end, we were pointed to another gas station, 35km away. We rolled the dice and drove to it in super-efficient mode (4th gear at 60km/h) and made it. Whew... disaster averted.
Once we were gassed up, Alex took the wheel and I took the passenger seat for a good night's rest. About 30 minutes after I'd dozed off, I was awakened by the brakes on the Lada locking up solid for about 5 seconds, followed by a thump and then the sound of us going off the road. Turns out there had been a car accident a couple minutes ahead of us, and one of the cars had lost its rear bumper, and then placed the thing in the middle of the road as a "warning" to oncoming cars. Alex had seen the bumper, braked, hit it, and then turned off the road to see exactly what he'd hit. (I am glad to report that the Lada came out completely unscathed, as always! - Alex)
Then out of one of the wrecked cars came a Kazak man with a severe head injury and broken arm. He hadn't been wearing his seatbelt, and naturally got banged around when his car rolled over. And so the Lada became an ambulance... we shuttled the injured man and a compatriot about 120km to the nearest hospital, in Shymkent. The compatriot promised to get us into a newspaper story about foreigners helping a local... so be sure to read your copy of the Shymkent Daily News this week.
Naturally, on the way to the hospital neither of our passengers wore their seatbelts.
We're looking for the Ambulance sign for the Lada's hood, but haven't been able to locate one yet.
Asian Bird Flew...
The car is OUT of Uzbekistan!!! but I'm not...
Let me give some background. All three of us had to get VISA's to Kazakhstan, Russia, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. For Uzbekistan & Kyrgyzstan we needed single entry VISA's. For Kazakhstan we needed double entry VISA's and for Russia we needed a multiple entry VISA.
Now for Alex and Theo this process was simpler since they could ship off their passports to Washington D.C. and get the VISA's they needed. However since I've been traveling non stop for a while I needed my Passport with me so that wasn't an option. As a result I got my Kazakhstan & Russia VISA's in Hong Kong and my Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan VISA's in Beijing. The only slight issue around this was that the Consular official for Kazakhstan in Hong Kong wasn't authorized to issue double entry VISA's. However he told me to call him and he would arrange for a VISA to be waiting at the border for me. He also said I could get a three day Transit VISA at the border if needed.
Needless to say I wasn't overly confident this would work out fine so the night before we went to the border we hatched a plan during Bart's birthday celebration. Bart is a Dutch guy we met in Baku who has been bicycling around Europe/Asia/Africa for the last 6 months and we talked him into joining our group to go on to Mongolia. Anyway the plan was I'd just show up at the border and try and bluff my way into Kazakhstan and if it didn't work out I'd meet up with the crew and hitch a ride into Kyrgyzstan which is the direction the rest of the Camp Beku group was going.
So we got an early start only to be waylaid by the incredibly inefficient banking system in Uzbekistan. It took us over an hour to get money at the bank. We asked around if this was normal and everyone said the bank was always broken. So we made it out of the city by 11:00 and then stopped on the side of the highway about half way to the border so that we could have yet another Customs Agent change (we change customs guys in each city) and that took over 3 hours in 100 degree sun. Then we drove for about 30 minutes before we had another 45 minute "Watermelon" break. Finelly we got to border but try as we might they wouldn't let me in. We had to convince them to send just me back and let Theo & Alex continue on with the car. Otherwise the car would have been in Customs hands again and we didn't want that.
So I caught a ride into Tashkent with one of the guards while Theo and Alex continued on to Almaty. Unfortunantly for me the mobile phone coverage is such crap in this country that I wasn't able to get a hold of the Camp Beku crew until they had reached the border to Kyrgyzstan.
So I'm in Tashkent now and I'll have to fly ahead of Alex & Theo to keep ahead of them. This means either I fly on to Novosibirsk (On a Tupoluv..) and join up with Alex and Theo there or fly back to Beijing and go back to work. We'll have it decided in the next few hours.

Quick update from Uzbekistan.
A note to any future ralliers reading this site:
Uzbekistan has been the weirdest climate so far. It started off as nothing but desolate desert but has slowly gotten prettier as we went through the country. Samarqand is beautiful and there's quite a bit to see. Temp is perfect here as opposed to when we entered Kazak/Uzbek desert where it was so hot that opening a window felt like getting hit with a blow torch.
The Problem:
We had to pay 120 Euro's at the border because of our Transit plates and we were assigned an escort who takes us slowly from city to city which has caused us to slip from the Camp Beku caravan. However we keep passing eachother.
Gotta go. Out "Customs Officer" is pissed I'm taking so long. Can't wait to be back in Kazakhstan where we will have our independance back.

Leaving Baku?
- we are not actually as depressed as Cyrus' post makes it sounds like. Baku has actually been plenty of fun, in large part bacause there's 15 of us stuck here together. We just want to keep going. And, as somebody has commented, no we have not so far regretted our decision to come out here! I've regretted some (most?) of the major choices we've made along the way, but the overall idea has been sound.
- we're closer to leaving Baku than we've been so far. The ferry port is saying there's a 99% chance that the ferry atrriving at 7 tonight will go to Kazakhstan. Heading over there to find out more now. If we leave today, I think we still have a shot at actually making Ulan Bator!
- As we're likely to have extrmely limited internet access frome here on out, we finally seem to have the text messaging system working on the rally site, so you can keep up with us here: http://www.mongolrally.com/teamdata.php?teamid=189. We'll try to get the progress map correctly updated too eventually, but that might take a little bit of time.

Camp Beku (Day 137)
Were fucked.
That's really about the only way to describe our situation. We talked yesterday with the head of the ferry boat administration and he told us they won't send another ferry to Kazakhstan for at least another week. So we are literally stuck here.
Our options at this point are:
- Wait for a ferry to Kazakhstan which may someday show up.
- Get VISA's for Turkministan and take the daily ferry there.
- Drive North around the Caspian sea.
- Drive South around the Caspian sea.
1) I've already described the issue with number 1. Specifically that it's a long ways off and we have no evidence it'll even go next week.
2) VISA's for Turkministan cannot be acquired in Azerbaijan because of a dispute of oil in the Caspian sea. So for us to get VISA's to Turkministan we have to drive to Armenia. Well the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia is also closed due to a border dispute. So to get there we'd have to drive back to Georgia. Apply for a VISA to Armenia in Georgia and then go to Armenia. Once in Armenia we could apply for a VISA to Turkministan. Then go back to Georgia and apply for new VISA's to Azerbaijan. Come back here and catch a ferry.
3) Drive North around the Caspian. Well here's the problem. Between the Black sea and the Caspian sea is Georgia and Azerbaijan. North of them is Russia. So easy choice since we've got multiple entry VISA's for Russia. Except the border between Georgia and Russia is closed completely and the border between Azerbaijan and Russia is closed to foreigners. Why are they closed? Because Chechnya and Dagestan are Russian republics to the north and there's a guerilla war going on. Now from everything we've heard Dagestan is actually fairly safe but they won't let us go that route.
4) Drive South around the Caspian. Directly south of Azerbaijan and continuing east around the Caspian is a little country called Iran. Which we would happily drive through at this point however we have to get permission from the state department prior to requesting the VISA and then we'd have to get Iran to approve the VISA which would take quite a bit of time itself. In addition we have to leave a $1500 deposit to bring the car in.
So were fucked. We've decided to go with option number 2 but we are leaning on our consulates to get the VISA's issued in Turkministan and courriered over here. I called the American Consulate in Turkministan and they told me to screw off. Actually their exact words were "I'm sorry it's against the law for us to help private citizens with VISA issues even in emergency situations." WTF? Who would write a law like that. Needless to say I've already written a long letter to both our Senators asking why we would have a law preventing Consulates from helping Americans.
The British on the other hand have been more helpful to their citizens (though it probably doesn't hurt that we have the daughter of a member of parliament with us) and to us as well. They agreed to not only work out VISA's for the Brits but to handle ours as well. However they aren't sure how long it will take. They say 5-10 days is likely.
So at the end of the day the chances of us making Mongolia are now extremely low. But on the plus side we are thinking of going into the mountains to go camping for the next three days.

Camp Baku (Day 5)
5 DAYS.... 5 DAYS!!We couldn't have gotten stuck in Istanbul. No we HAD to break down in Azerbaijan. I didn't even know how to spell Azerbaijan before I came here and now I feel like I'm living here.
Top 10 things to do while in Beku.
- Bug the customs guys in the vague hope that they get annoyed enough with you to make the ferry company ship you off.
- Apply for new VISA since your original ones actually expired.
- Drive around behind giant dump trucks carrying (presumably) asbestos filled building debree while the wind blows tons of dust out of it into your face.
- Get your car raised up a couple inches for $40.
- Marvel at the Caspian Sea (From at least 30 feet away)
- Get disgusted by the Caspian Sea (From less than 30 feet away)
- Ask a Customs agent where the trash is only to have him lead you to the side of the railroad tracks and instruct you to just throw it on the ground.
- Drink Georgian home brewed Vodka that the Brits picked up on the way. (YEEOUCH that burned)
- Wake up to the smell of burning plastic and realize that it's almost certainly the plastic bottle you "Threw away" the previous day.
- Make friends with a bunch of Brits who have clearly made equally bad choices.
All in all the stop has been fun as we've had a heck of a time at "Camp Baku" which is actually the customs parking lot that we have commandeered. It's inside the "Secure" customs area since our car's VISA's have all expired.
Here's some pictures.
This was the sleeping arrangedments on the first night. We all just laid out on this tarp thing that team Blazing Camels brought along. It was actually reasonable comfortable and the sun woke us in the morning. Then the guards asked us to move because they wanted to load another ferry. We've played a lot of cards and drank our share of beer and Vodka with the guards. Alex has been in charge of making sure the customs folks like us. We tossed a rugby ball around with them last night and one of them really got into it. He was about 60 and we later found out he used to be on the Azerbaijanian national rugby team.
Blazing Camels in driving a 2CV which might be the most ridiculous car on the rally. It's got something like a 600cc engine and is air cooled but it's got loads of style. Since we are about to hit 120/45 degree weather in the desert we are all a bit curios how it'll work out there.
The funniest moment we had today happened shortly after Theo, Alex and I went to the Caspian. We backed off 30 feet to a bench so we could enjoy it and Theo said (with some sarcasm in his voice) "Ahh Beku, how beautiful you would be if your citizens didn't pollute the crap out of you." and right as he said pollute the woman walking by in front of us casually tossed her empty 1 litre bottle of sprite directly into the Caspian. It was sad but we laughed our assess off for about five minutes. Then we tried to get ourselves killed while crossing a road.

Istanbul to Samarquand in 27 million simple steps
Problem: the ferries out of Istanbul are all booked up, we'd have to wait almost another full week to get on one.
Plan #2: drive through the night to Trabzon, on the Eastern part of Turkey, take a short ferry from there to Sochi, Russia, on the Black Sea's northern coast, continue original plan from there.
Problem: the ferry is in port and ready to go, but the guy wants $500 for the car and $75 per person. Bargain down to $350 for the car and $65 per person - that still seems awfully expensive, can't we just drive around to Sochi!? There's another ferry running two days later, and they would only charge $50 for the car, but we don't want to wait. So...
Plan #3: drive around the east coast of the Black Sea into Georgia (US citizens can get a Georgian visa at the border) up to Sochi, back to the original route from there.
Problem: We get into Georgia fine (well, not fine, since we spent two hours at the border, but that's par for the course by now) - got to drive along the Black Sea coast for a while - that was beautiful! Georgia, however, wants us to specify an explicit exit point on our visas, and they won't let it be Sochi, since they think that Russian border is closed due to instability in that area. Naturally, the plan evolves:
Plan #4: Drive into Tbilisi, Georgia (Theo gets pulled over a few more times along the way - we've lost count of how many now. A cop in Azerbaijan got $5 for his efforts, another gets 10 Turkish Lira as a souvenir. Incidentally, Cyrus and I have driven through multiple police check points without so much as a second look - Theo's definitely shady), get visas into Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan while there, drive to Baku, Azerbaijan, take a ferry to Turkmenistan, drive on to Samarquand.
Problem: There is no Turkmenistan embassy in Georgia... Why in the world not?! Oh well,
Plan #4a: Get the Azerbaijan visa in Tbilisi, drive down to Baku, get the Turkmen visa there - really shouldn't change anything.
Problem: We get to Baku Wednesday morning (the border crossing takes forever again, but we get lots of commentary on our choice of car, and how it's better than any Mercedes!). In Baku, discover that they do have regular ferries to Turkmenistan. What they don't have is a Turkmenistan embassy, so we can't get a visa... Apparently, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan have been contending some oil territories in the Caspian for the last few years and don't like each other much as a result - why can't we all just get along?
Plan #5: Fine, we can skip Turkmenistan and just go to Kazakhstan instead. There's a ferry coming on Thursday supposedly, even though the information is a little scarce. From Aqtaw, Kazakshstan, we can still drive to Samarquand, it's not all that much further.
Problem: On Thursday, the details on the Kazakh ferry become a little sketchy - we don't really know when it's coming or when it's leaving, but it sounds like it should still be OK on Friday. Friday, we get to the port around 11 in the morning and discover that the ferry arrived late last night and left at 6AM this morning! Without us! There's a lot of if, when's, but's, and I'm not sure's in when it's going to be back. I can't belive we missed our ferry!
Plan #17842 (I may have lost count): Can't we just drive around the Caspian?
Problem: Chechnya. It's 'unstable'. We don't actually have to go through Chechnya, but we have to go through its neigbor Dagestan, which is also unstable. The locals here actually tells us it should be fine, the US embassies, on the other hand, don't recommend it. The Russian embassy is uncertain. You can also go south through Iran, but even we weren't stupid enough to consider that (plus I hear an Iranian visa wouldn't be able to happen on the spot).
Plan #17843: On Friday, we find out that there actually is some rhyme and reason to the Kazakhstan ferry - it sails for about 18 hours in each direction, spends 5 to 6 hours in port, then goes back, so what happened last night is fairly reasonable, it would have just helped if we had actually been told that the ferry was close to arriving when we talked to them on Wednesday. If we can actually get out of here Sunday morning, that gets us into Kazakhstan by Sunday night, which is how long it would have taken to get there driving, so we might as well sail.
Problem? Seems like we've had enough so far, so maybe this plan will actually work. As of Friday night, we're still in Baku, still planning to take the ferry Sunday morning, we'll see what happens. Current problem is that our Azerbaijan visas actually run out Saturday night, but the customs guys have told us that they'll let us out anyway. I'll believe it when I see it! By the way, this ferry is also going to cost $350, so we obviously should have taken the one from Trabzon to Sochi (or we could've waited for the $50 one two days later, oh well, hindsight...)
Seattle to Istanbul in 72 hours
Day 0: up at shortly after 8AM to go wakeboarding. Can't miss wakeboarding - leaving country for three weeks, plus the water and the temperature on the lake are perfect, I'm going to miss wakeboarding. Cyrus keeps talking about going riding on the Black Sea - seems like a good idea... On to work, leave work to head directly to the airport to catch my 11:30PM flight. Come close to missing the flight - apparently they won't let you use the computer check in for an international flight, and talking to a real agent takes forever. Well, actually I'm able to get my tickets in roughly 30 seconds, everybody else in front of me in line takes forever...
Day 1: arrive in Chicago, on time, 5:10AM, Central time, about 3:10 Seattle time. Sleep on the plane a little, so not a total loss. Running total: up for 19 hrs. flying for 3.5 hrs.
Hang out at the airport for four hours - at least they've got internet access! Meet up with Cynthia a couple of hours after arriving - she's flying to Quebec the same morning, hang out for a little while. 9:10AM - get on a plane to London. Get a little sleep again - at least they still feed you on cross-Atlantic flights! Get to London just before midnight local time, 4PM in Seattle. Got six hours before my morning flight to Athens - getting a hotel doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, I have to go to Gatwick anyway for the Greece flight - 1.5 hr bus ride...
Day 2: Running total: been up for 38 hrs, flying: 11 hrs, driving: 1.5 hrs. 6:30 AM, leave London on an easyJet flight to Athens (btw.easyJet sucks!). Get to Athens at noon local time - flight once again uneventful, except that I'm really sick of flying by now! Normally, restlessness starts a couple of hours after take off, by now, it sets in almost immediately, complete lack of leg room doesn't help (have I mentioned my feelings on the easyJet airlines?
In Athens we quickly discover that the ferries we had wanted to take to Turkey are all full since this is THE time to take vacation if you're Greek... So, we're driving to Istanbul. Having napped a little along the various flights, and now having had a full mean in Athens, I'm actually feeling pretty well! I also only have a vague idea by now of what time it is in Seattle anymore, or how long I've been up. Running total: up for 47 hours, flying: 14.5 hrs, driving: 1.5 hrs.
Leave Athens around 5, on the way to Istanbul - we're running pretty well behind, so we're probably not going all the way tonight, but we want to go as far as we can. This ends up going til we reach the city Kawala, Greece at 2AM! The hotel offers the promise of a bed and a shower, I'm sold! 56 hours later, and a bed again! The most comfortable bed I've seen in years!
Day 3: Kawala to Turkish border - three hours no problem. The border: everybody's stuck for two hours anyway. We're stuck longer because Turkish customs, as usual, doesn't like our car... After having been sent between four different check point stations, where noone speaks much English (or Russian), they let us through. Istanbul is now close! Except that the traffic sucks... The roads aren't bad actually, but there's a ton of cars, when the roads get wider, they're now toll roads - more delays. 10PM - we're in Istanbul! Get lost for a while (naturally), but we find our way. And in slightly more than 72 hours (78 to be exact), I've travelled across 10 time zones and made it to Istanbul.
Final total: 78 hours total; 7 hours of sleep (plus a few naps), 14.5 hours of flying, 16.5 hours of driving, 2 hrs at a border crossing - Mongolia next!

Athens to Istanbul
With no ferry, we were forced to drive back up Greece to Thessalonki, and then east to Istanbul - about 1200km. The drive was mostly uneventful, except for a huuuuge line at the Turkish border, which when combined with confusing car paperwork resulting in a 3 hour border crossing.
Coming soon...

The border was where we first learned of the Turkish affinity towards honking. I mean, the Greeks liked honking too, but the Turks seemed to make an art form out of it. The video below should give some indication.
Coming soon... VIDEO OF HONKING TURKS
After the border, it was more traffic and more honking but eventually we made it to Istanbul and found a pretty kickin' hotel on the cheap.
Walking While Theo
It bled a bit, but Cyrus examined it and we determined that it wasn't immediately life threatening. The blood made quite an impression on the shop owners though. We ate quickly, and then headed back to the hotel. Cyrus called his mom (a nurse) for advice, and we were instructed to clean, disinfect, and ice it. And (worst of all) Cyrus was instructed to wake me up in the middle of the night to make sure I wasn't dead and could still do math. He did, and I did. The swelling is now mostly down. :)
Coming soon... HEAD INJURY PICTURES! 073075
Our second day in Istanbul was another ferry SNAFU. Apparently the Istanbul -> Odessa ferry which we were planning on taking was filled up by a surplus of Ukranian hookers returning home. Long story short, we decided to drive to eastern Turkey and try our luck with another ferry. Stupid? Maybe. But we do have a backup plan of driving through Georgia. Stay tuned...
The Soviet Bloc: Round 1
Cy and I heard that Serbia was charging $180 for insurance, so we decided to avoid Serbia. This means going through Romania and Bulgaria, and we had no idea what we were getting into. You've probably already read Cy's post about the speeding ticket in Bulgaria... we also got pulled over one more time because of our weird Russian transit plates. (and DWT)
But the most most striking parts of Romania and Bulgaria for me was the general state of the buildings and infrastructure. The roads varied widely from short stretches of new superhighway (funded mostly by the EU) to looooong stretches of absolutely terrible twisty mountain roads, going through tiny run-down towns.
There were also some remnants of the soviet era -- giant housing blocks that look exactly the same from town to town. But now where there might have been a picture of Stalin or a hammer a sickle... we get an ad for 7up.
Here's a kinda crummy picture of soviet housing. More to come...
Finally... the gas stations. Probably because gas is the most expensive thing around (still around 6 bucks a gallon) the gas stations are invariably the nicest buildings in town. They have restaurants attached, with air conditioning, outdoor umbrellas, etc... It's eerie against the backdrop of the gray soviet housing. They're also open late at night, so they end up being the place to hang out, at least for the rich kids.
All in all, the detour through Romania and Bulgaria ended up taking a ton of time and at least $100 in mysterious border fees (my personal favorite being the Environmental Insurance, which was $16 but we talked them down to $10 because we were just driving through). But it was great fun.
Our luxurious ferry from Romania to Bulgaria. Ok, so it was only 300 yards. Interesting tidbit from the ferry ride... a couple of our fellow passengers -- large Bulgarian ladies, apparently, had bought a bunch of cigarettes on the Romanian side, and were smuggling them into bulgaria... in their bras. It was very amusing to watch the cigarette placement process, which was performed in a very obvious and open manner. No, we didn't take any pictures.

As I mentioned yesterday, I made these really cute cakes on Sunday so I wanted to share! I don't really want to share the cakes themselves, but.. The way I did them!
Years ago I saw these cake tins online that would bake mini tiered (okay, mini wedding, and yeah, maybe it was on Pinterest) cakes and I immediately wanted them, but could never find them anywhere. I had mentioned this to the youth leader at my church and she always looked for them for me, but never found them either. When I graduated from college and came back home, she said she had a present for me - the cake tin! She had found it somewhere and she got it for me!
So all summer I've wanted to make them and all summer I've been lazy.. Sunday was the day!
Pretty much the most important part is the cute apron part. Mine is Vera Bradley and I want to wear it any chance I get. I looooovvvvve aprons. They are my guilty pleasure. I really don't have that many, I swear. Three tops. But I love them so much. Though I sometimes question the functionality of half aprons, they are still too cute to not buy.
|I used a box.. Sue me.
Now we sit in our pretty apron and watch Veronica Mars on DVD while we wait for the cakes to be finished! (If you haven't watched Veronica Mars yet, you need to get to work on that. You know about the movie, right?!)
Another note: I got this Duncan Hines Frosting Creations to use for the frosting, and Mint Chocolate flavor to mix into the can. This Frosting Creations thing sounds like a really great idea to me. You get a flavor packet and mix it in so you have whatever flavor frosting you want! How great is that? I need to make more cakes now so I can try different flavors. Chocolate Marshmallow may have to be next (I'm also s'mores-obsessed).
My only regret about this cake is assuming that marble would be a good idea. While tasty, the shape of the pans really didn't allow for much mixing of the chocolate, so pretty much all the "marble" is in the center of the cakes. Again, though, still tasty, so I consider it a success.
|You probably won't be surprised to know that Mint Chocolate frosting makes the cake go SO well with mint chocolate chip ice cream.
And there you have it! So far I'm doing great with my Weekly Wish to eat this cake.. Day 2 and going strong, really.
I checked lots of blogs to try to find out the timing and temperature and everything for this pan, and I couldn't really find anything specific enough so if you're trying to make these cakes, feel free to ask me for more details before you put anything in the oven!

I feel so guilty when I'm not posting regularly on this blog. I've always managed to get posts up no matter how crazy my life is, but this summer I've been battling a major case of blog block. I've just been so uninspired and frankly burnt out.
But I'm hoping that my upcoming trip to New York and my attendance at the IFB convention will help to spark a bit more of my blogging enthusiasm again.
Offline, I've been really working hard on redesigning our apartment and actually have made quite a lot of progress, but I am still searching for the perfect piece of furniture to put our TV and media stuff on. I have a definite picture in my head of what I want and really don't want to settle for anything less, but it may be a while before it all comes together.
Here's a few snapshots of life lately!
|An example of the weird things you can find at a car wash…miniature sleeping kittens?
|First signs of Fall!
|My car needed a wash like something awful!
|Lots of cups of tea
Now the rest of my weekend will be about continuing to clean, putting away laundry and hopefully getting a bit of time to journal and catch up on my favorite blogs! Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Maryland House lawmakers set to work on gambling• By David Hill The Washington Times
While the Senate passed the bill by a relatively easy 28-14 vote last week, the House of Delegates is where the battles will be fought. Even the bill's supporters are calling for tweaks to better compensate casino operators, local governments and causes such as education.
While officials hope to wrap up the special session by Tuesday night, lawmakers say they will first have to get through lengthy negotiations in the House and then between the two chambers — if the bill gets that far.

Just because it's been snowing since Sunday doesn't mean my skin isn't recalling those warm, sunny days we had last week. I have major spring fever. If you follow me on pinterest your feed has been flooded with lots of color as of late, and if you don't...well, you're missing out.
Even though the weather isn't ready for it, I'm ready to perk up my home with life (aka color) and my wardrobe, too. Here's a few things that I'm currently aching for as pictured above:
+ Swiss Cross Sheets: These were from Iviebaby...I can't find any adult ones! Help?!
+ DIY Succulent Garden Planter: from A Beautiful Mess || I love the idea of adding some more succulents and cacti to my collection. Plus this design is perfect...however, I think my dogs would be quick to make a beautiful mess out of it. s i g h .
+Wire Crates (or similar): from a pinterest image that lead to an image! Miles' home decor style is sort of a rustic-cozy-industrial and mine is too (thankfully). I've been browsing for some baskets to store magazines and dog toys and blankies...I just haven't found a good deal yet. I would love to get some spring organization done before spring ends!
+ THIS RUG. If it wasn't the price of a month's worth of groceries, I'd get it. I love it. Miles loves it. Hopefully sweet little West Elm will put it on sale soon hehe.
+Lots of art on the walls. You can check out my shop for prints like the one pictured!
+All the good smells: Recently, my friend, Rachel mentioned this candle from target in a post and I've been meaning to get it ever since!
+Stripes//floral prints//midi-skirts and dresses: you name it, I probably want it in my closet. I've been hooked on all those specific things but since it's been cold I haven't bothered adding anything to my closet. However, my friend, Amy just posted about an online company called Thred Up so I think I'm gonna give that a try!
+ Pointed flats. I love the way they make my little feet look. I've only tried pairs on though, so I would love to add a pair or two to my shoe drawer! So ready to put away the Bogs and Sorels!
What is your Springspiration? I'd love to hear how you welcomed (or are waiting to welcome) Spring to your home and wardrobe!

One day removed from the Winter Classic the event is being remembered as a stunning success despite the Sabres loss. Everything indicates that the NHL will try to do another outdoor game next year as well.
The official attendance mark was slightly over 71,000. While this is slightly less then the 75,000 that saw the Cold War game, it is a record for a NHL game beating out the previous attendance mark at the 2003 heritage classic outdoor game. Additionally around 12,000 fans were at the HSBC arena for the "House Party". While the house party held no appeal to me, the fact that so many people were willing to attend is a testament to how big of an even this was.
On another note, wearing the classic jerseys was rather cool. While I understand that the Penguins want to wear yellow and black to match the other two teams in the city, there is no reason for the Sabres not to return to their classic jerseys. Since returning to the Blue and Gold last season the team has teased us with wearing the classic blues for half the home games last season, and now with wearing the whites for this outdoor game. The team and the NHL just need to admit their mistake and go back to the classic logos. It is going to happen sooner or later, and there is really no reason to put it off any longer.
The game itself played out really slow, as the snow slowed the puck itself, and elongated timeouts were needed to repair the ice surface. However, it was well known is advance that this was likely to happen. This was probably most helpful to the Penguins who as a result could give more ice time to their top line of Crosby, Armstrong, and Malkin. That said it wasn't a bad hockey game and had a better pace then most Devils game, and the mind numbing stillness that result from the Wild playing New Jersey in the snow.
Another touch the NHL really needed to pull off was an ice pathway from the locker room to the rink. Ignoring how far the teams had to walkout on those stupid rubber mats, how cool would it have been to have the players charge out of the tunnel on skates?
Also why the NHL didn't have the zambonis completely redo the ice surface when they went out there mid period to scrape off the snow is beyond me. It's not how things are typically done, but as the league showed with splitting the third period, special circumstances should lead themselves to reasonable changes.
Splitting the overtime seemed a bit obsessive, but ultimately it was the only way to be fair. Thanks to a powerplay the Sabres outshot Pittsburgh 7-0 in the OT, but failed to score anything. Perhaps outdoor games should proceed straight to a shootout?
Props to NBC for covering the game fairly. While I would have rather listened to Jeanneret or CBC's feed, the announcers didn't feel compelled to explain the rules of the game as if no one has ever seen hockey before. Traditionally network television has always carried hockey games as if they needed to explain what a faceoff is. That didn't prevent them from talking about Crosby ad infinum, but that was almost expected from the moment the game was first announced. The only thing that bothered me was that they kept showing that play of Crosby bouncing the puck off his stick a couple of times as if it were some great play, failing to realize that he was immediately bumped off the puck, giving Buffalo's defense easy possession.
More about the future of the Ice Bowl tomorrow...

Leo Sanchez/Conexion Del Rio
DEL RIO,TX–Otila Gonzalez, President of the Del Rio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, informed Conexion Del Rio staff of the topics that were discussed at the meeting held by the Del Rio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
"The meeting held, gave us an opportunity to take a look at this year's city report. The report outlined all the projects that have began and those that are to come. We have to be mindful that without funds, there cannot be improvements done within our City. I know that raising taxes is always a concern for our citizens and our board, but we have to take a look at our expenditures and weigh the possibilities of tax increases to allot for improvements. All city improvements will create a more attractive community for businesses that will economically impact our city," said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez stated that throughout the year they host events such as the Gala Dance, held in October, and a scholarship fundraiser to assist them with raising funds for the cause.
"Currently we are displaying Amistad National Recreation Area as part of our efforts in economic development. We have several billboards displaying around surrounding areas, like Eagle Pass, San Antonio, Carrizo Springs and Eldorado," commented Mrs. Gonzalez.
To join in the efforts, you may become a member as a business or as an individual. The goal is to promote businesses, so they may prosper.

An Amnesty By Any Other Name
|An amnesty is defined by dictionary.com as "a general pardon granted by a government." A pardon is defined as "To release (a person) from punishment; exempt from penalty."
There is at least, then, a plausible defense to the "it's not an amnesty" argument if some of the conditions are actual punishments. The proposed legislation required immigrants receiving the pardon/amnesty to pay a $2,000 fine, remain employed for six years, undergo a background check, and refrain from criminal activity. These criteria are not materially different than the criteria which legal imigrants face on the path to citizenship, save for the $2,000 fine; therefore it's difficult to define the proposal as anything other than amnesty. In other words, illegals get to jump in front of the law-abiding and gain American citizenship for the price of a plasma TV. American citizenship for $2,000! Who wouldn't jump at that opportunity?
Russel Wardlow brilliantly summed up the deterrent effect of the meager $2,000 fine:
Beyond the relative political advantages and disadvantages of the word amnesty (the American people are supposedly viscerally opposed to any amnesty), the proposal's label doesn't matter, its likely effects do. If it looks, sounds, and smells like amnesty, it's amensty. How isn't the proposal a reward for breaking our immigration laws? And in my mind more importantly, how isn't this proposal a slap in the face to those stupid enough to obey our immigration laws? Doesn't the proposal encourage future illegal immigration? Mickey Kaus powerfully explained the unfairness of the proposal:
Call it what you want, but the proposal is subject to the same underlying problems as an outright amensty. The punishment of a $2,000 fine is a sick joke, an insult to every potential immigrant that has been stupid enough to play by the rules. The proposal will, like the last amnesty, encourage immigrants to illegally enter our country rather than follow the legal path.

How Digital Music Has Changed the Music Industry - INFOGRAPHIC
Do you know how many individual digital music tracks have been purchased online? As of 2012, the number totaled a whopping 1.2 billion. And we're talking about an industry that didn't even exist as recently as 1999. Few other industries have ever experienced such rapid adoption and growth in such a short time. And the digital music industry is anything but standing still. Continued growth, increasing adoption by consumers, the introduction of more convenient digital music downloading and streaming services, and the integration of social media into the world of music are all contributing to continued changes in the music industry. In 2011, for instance, 80 percent of revenue from the digital music industry came from digital downloads.
[show_AdSense float="left" ad_client="pub-6459652808052815" ad_slot="2316718725" ad_width="250" ad_height="250"]
But now, streaming music is making its mark in terms of revenues, generating $311 million in 2012--$8 million more than in 2011. Users are quickly realizing that they can pay one low subscription rate and listen to as much music as they want using streaming services, without the hassle of downloading and storing tracks on their own devices. Want more details on the revolution of digital music? Check out the Infographic below!

Hiya everyone,
I require some help if I'm to achieve my new FM goal. I'm trying to create an entire new league system.
My goal is to create a top flight world super league made up of the current top 24 teams with a further two leagues beneath this - both at the same tier (like the conference north and south) with promotion and relegation to and from the world super league. I would also like a domestic cup and super cup as well as continental qualification.
Im also trying to build in a draft system into the league as well as various end of season awards but I'm really struggling to fit it all together.
Any advice?

RENO, Nev. (CBS.MW) -- Amerco, parent company of truck rental firm U-Haul, confirmed speculation that it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The company issued a statement after Friday's closing bell, saying the move would speed the restructuring of its debt. Amerco UHAL, +0.75% defaulted on a $100 million principal note payment in October and a $175 million debt maturity in May.
Shares of Amerco slipped a penny in after-hours trading following the announcement. But the stock tumbled to close down 16.6 percent during the regular session on published reports that speculated the filing was imminent.
The company said that Wells Fargo WFC, -0.04% had agreed to provide $300 million debtor-in-possession financing and a $650 million bankruptcy emergence facility.
Amerco's U-Haul subsidiary, the largest provider of truck and trailer rentals to retail customers in North America, is not included in the Chapter 11 filing.
The company said it does not anticipate changes in its operations.

There are huge number of laptop repairing institutes in India that petition to give best offer to the students the most technical courses but there are several reasons that Chiptroniks Institute is the best as well as it is choose by the students.
Chiptroniks Institute is also one of the renowned laptop-training centers. Apart from laptop, it offers LED TV repairing courses separately. Being a laptop repairing institute in India, it also offers fast track course to the students and working professionals. It also offers placement support to the students.
In laptop repairing classes, you learn through live practical. There is no homework to do once you left the training laptop repairing institute. This means you don't have extra pressure and you can revise the complete stuff according to the preferences. Laptop repairing course labs are well-equipped with tools and equipment that helps in professional troubleshooting.
Chiptroniks laptop repairing institute and it's course is now more about learning laptop systems troubleshooting professionally instead of just another course. Being counted as one of the best vocational courses, laptop repairing technology training is more acceptable in cities and sub-urban areas. So, why instead of a complete degree a student will opt for the diploma in laptop repairing technology. The answer that comes straight into our minds is that these courses offer same value and better growing options than others do.
Prior to the admission you can easily attend the trail classes to know whether you are able to grasp concepts or not. Many institutes provide the same during the admission procedure. Some name them as demo classes as well in which course motive, future and scope is carefully discussed.

Tigger and Roo are so adorable! Love the page! I have been looking at this cartridge also but not sure about it b/c my girls are 14 & 9. I may have to check it out again and look at all the extras. I wasn't sure about the paper dolls cart either but got it on sale and use it all the time! Love those hidden treasures.

Casting continues on INDEPENDENCE DAY 2, the Roland Emmerich-helmed sequel to the 1996 box office smash. Deadline reports Sela Ward has been voted in as the President of the United States in the film, which is just revving up production in New Mexico. Emmerich and Ward collaborated over a decade ago on THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, and she was recently seen in GONE GIRL and CSI: NY.
Ward joins Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Brent Spiner, Vivica Fox, Judd Hirsch, Jessie Usher, Liam Hemsworth, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Joey King and Maika Monroe in the film, which is coming out June 24, 2016.
INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 was written by Emmerich, producer Dean Devlin, Carter Blanchard, James A Woods and Nicolas Wright. That's a lot of chefs in the kitchen!
