Update

It's been awhile.  Partly because blogger.com has been blocked in Turkey.  But I've known how to get around the block for awhile now.  But work has had me incredibly busy.  I'm on Spring break now, and just got back from a 3 day road trip.  I've got lots of school work to do and housekeeping both literal and figurative.  I just downloaded some pictures to this computer (the process including downloading the software, as usual with this HP school-owned computer, took a long and frustrating time.)

So these pictures are not Moira's adventure or even a Turkish adventure.  They're from Sim's Thailand trip the first two weeks in March.  But since Moira's Turkish adventure made his Thai adventure possible, I thought I'd include a few.  Two of them are Sim and his friend Cooper who has spent a lot of time in Thailand,  working on his business involving medical tourism.  As another friend commented, he seems to have managed to provide the requisite medical event which allows customers to sample the product.  The last picture is of Sim getting stitches for the cut he received when he lost control of his motorbike on the way to a temple in Chiang Mai.  He sprained an ankle and a thumb, bruised some ribs, and the cut got infected and required follow-up.  All of that plus a refill on his blood pressure medicine was less than the cost of fixing the bike.

The last pix is Sim with his cousin Tony Lett, who he met up with in Chiang Mai.
