All my life one of my greatest desires has been to travel–to see and touch unknown countries, to swim in unknown seas, to circle the globe, observing new lands, seas, people, and ideas with insatiable appetite, to see everything for the first time and for the last time, casting a slow, prolonged glance, then to close my eyes and feel the riches deposit themselves inside me calmly or stormily according to their pleasure, until time passes them at last through its fine sieve, straining the quintessence out of all the joys and sorrows.

I think this is s synagogue…

We weren't really sure. There was no name or anything, plus Bulgaria's churches (synagogues, temples, etc) have a tendency to be modeled differently and reused by other religions in an atypical fashion. So it's quite possible.

Overheard in O'Hare:

"I looked for your relatives in Amsterdam but I didn't find any of them. ... Well in sure they're not all dead."

Overheard in O'Hare:

"Yeah, I love me, too. Bye. Talk to you later."

It's official.

2 out of 3 Americans are Hawaiian.

That’s the only explanation. Clearly I need to go there. We’ve obviously got it wrong on the mainland.

Is this really true? I mean I’m Hawaiian but really? 2 of 3?

It held true in Bulgaria. But the sample size was relatively small. (:
