Tales from the Eastern Bloc. Beatin’ the heat in the Bucegi Mountains. August 26, 2007. While temperatures in Bucharest climbed into the 100s again this week, I decided to head to the nearby Bucegi Mountains, where the forecasted high was 85. The idea was to escape the heat and the noise of the city for a few days, and to hopefully get a good night or two of rest in a more comfortable bed. (Despite the heat, I somehow managed to get a cold this week! Two weeks in the ‘rest. August 21, 2007. Based on what...

Tales from the Eastern Bloc. September 12, 2008. For those who I’ve seen since my return to America (and there are a lot of you! Needless to say, I am exhausted. But life is good. So I’ve decided to continue posting on my blog, to keep friends and family up to date with what’s going on, and to share pictures and thoughts from my adventures in the U.S.A. So without further ado, I present some of the summer’s great highlights. Which was super fun despite the oppressive heat! After our East Coast weekend, K...

Everybody I Love You: October 2007
http://everybodyiloveyou.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Everybody I Love You. Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Geography of the Heart. The Geography of the Heart. How US immigration law divides families. One Sunday almost four years ago, Thomas Carson, a 50-year old electrical engineer with corporate commendations from Nabisco and General Electric, parked his KIA Sportsman near the US-Mexico border and waited. It was after dark in Las Milpas. Once the largest colonia – or border settlement – in South Texas. Since being absorbed by the City of Pharr. Hernandez had a...

Everybody I Love You: December 2008
http://everybodyiloveyou.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Everybody I Love You. Friday, December 19, 2008. Notes From an Underground (a recording). And take your order. If you want some meat, or some dry goods, you'll have to repeat the process, seeing two more Blue Aprons. Which subsequently nominated the essay for inclusion in the Best of the Web 2009 anthology. Now I'm writing to say you can find an audio recording of the essay below. Fourteen minutes long, it should prepare any traveler for a trip to the Former Soviet Union. Tell me what you think&#...Wedde...

Everybody I Love You: January 2008
http://everybodyiloveyou.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Everybody I Love You. Wednesday, January 09, 2008. Democratic Party, Putin-Style. The more I learn about the American voting system - and it takes several election cycles to cut through the murk - the less "democratic" it seems. This came as a surprise this morning, when I went to go check the delegate count, and, instead of seeing a field just now getting started, discovered Clinton way out ahead. Apparently, this isn't a centuries-old tradition in the Party either. As this MSNBC report. 8220;There was ...

Live from Sarajevo | las-o baltă
https://lasobalta.wordpress.com/2008/06/27/live-from-sarajevo
Tales from the Eastern Bloc. Looking at a map of Eastern Europe. Sarajevo does not seem so far away from Bucharest. And, in fact, it’s not such a terribly long distance. As the crow flies. What’s more, the bus from Belgrade did not even go directly to Sarajevo proper, but rather to East Sarajevo, a Serbian stronghold just outside the formal city limits, because it originated in Serbia! If this sounds confusing, that’s because it is. Perhaps a map of the Bosnian state. Feed You can leave a response. Thank...
