From my travel journal the night of arrival in...
October 27, 2011. The moment I left the airport, there was no doubt that I was back in Africa: The inescapable sun bearing down on every living thing. Everywhere people were walking, carting & hauling goods. Goats nibbling on any bit of grass found along the side of the road. Men lounging under the shade of a tree, deeply inhaling cigarettes and staring out at the bustle of cars passing. ...

Tourist Visa for Kenya
The Italians I sat with en route to Mombasa had thankfully thought ahead and printed out copies of the Kenyan visa and customs applications. And they had extras. We filled them out on the plane and while the rest of the travelers mulled around at the gates waiting for access to a pen to fill out the sheets handed to them, we passed straight through ready to go.
Also, many websites & travel...

A Note on my hometown, Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City is really like a boom-town these days. It’s growing and expanding and in a very cool way.

Forward Foods →
All of the immensely deliciously scrummy cheeses, breads, figs, dolmas, sausages, and whatever else we feasted on the night I visited Scott, Katie & Matt were purchased at Forward Foods in OKC. They’ve got two locations: Norman and Oklahoma City. And it is well worth the visit. Stock up on all the cheeses you thought you would never taste again when you left France. Fill your Krups...
