The Four Locations

I have created a Google map noting each of the four locations. Obviously we will not be driving, but the map gives a good idea of how the four places are situated with reference to one another. In two of the locations if you double click on them you will access a street view and some photos taken by other users.

  1. As I was thinking about typing "Bon voyage," I thought how much better goodbyes are in various languages: adieu, adios, and allahesmarlidik. The last one (in Turkish) also has a great reply "Gule, gule" (gulay, gulay)--go smiling.

    Best wishes for a grand experience, filled with hospitality, international brotherhood and sisterhood, profound conversations, emerging questions, and glimpses of the Divine in new places.
