R2 checking out some Whirling Dervishes which is part of a ceremony called the Sema done by the Mevlevi order here in Istanbul. Supposedly it is a very serious religious ceremony but for $20 you can watch.

Instead of cooking a Christmas turkey R2 and I went to Turkey. We got in late so this is the best photo I could manage since my iPhone was stolen right out of my pocket in Fes Morocco.

Italian beer is not the best but you can always find the black stuff if you look hard enough.

The famous Rialto Bridge in Venice. A city that R2 says is a lot like parts of Naboo.

We found a tiny sea of calm in the craziness that is Marrakech. This must be what Mos Eisley is like.

Once again R2 and I are set to take to the skies in order to return to Africa. Will miss France more than I expected but looking forward to warmer weather with a side of culture shock.
