Came back recently from a two-month trip to Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and East Timor. I had a wonderful time, enjoying the people and their culture. Hope everyone had a wonderful summer as well.

If you've got time on your hands... maybe you might like to click over and see some photos...

welcome back - you are so adventurous - I clicked over but it timed out - maybe I just wasn't patient enough

Good to see you back Ben! Looks like it was a great trip. Architecture buff?

You did not miss much here. Just the spam war.

Thanks, Jerry and Ken.

Spam war?? :)

"Spam war?? :)"

Several Romney/Obama threads

Twinkies - hmmm - that's a product sort of like spam - maybe they should be called Twinkie wars...

There's always the global warming thread, but we seem to have lost Rog

Except, these are all pretty civil, definitely not spam war, perhaps repetitive and thus boring

Rumor has it he died of heat stroke while weeding his garden.

Your pictures brought back many memories,I lived on the island of Bali for a year,and spent time traveling around many of the Indonesian Islands.

Hi Anna:

A whole year in Bali? Wow -- that's got to be something! I had a month to travel in Indonesia. It wasn't enough time at all for even the three islands I visited (Sumatra, Java and Bali). I could have easily spent a month just in Bali alone! I love Indonesia -- and will go back again. :)
