Istanbul - Van

I’m reblogging an old post, but these pictures are incredible.  They make me want to go out and travel!

marcokesseler:

Train/boat/train combination to get from Istanbul to Tabriz. Here is the first leg of the journey. It has been a while without internet so there is plenty to upload. We are currently in Yazd, Iran.

Adesh Samaroo - Rum ‘Til I Die

It’s a shame that I’ve never heard this played at a party.

Rum ‘til I die, it’s rum ‘til I die

She tell me she don’t love me and that’s the reason why

I like turtles too.

As we walked by this hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Little India, the men working smiled and beckoned us to come in.  They immediately sat us down and served us without giving us any choices.  It was decided that my dad would get a beer, since he was the man, and my mom and I would get orange juice.  We were all stuck with cold banana-leaf rice and never had a chance to try the roti this man was making up front. 

Mama Denise was not happy.
