Trip to Eastern Europe -- In late April
and early May, I flew to Berlin, Germany, and then I went by rail through
Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and the Czech Republic. Lithuania
and Latvia were the 98th and 99th countries I have visited, and the other
countries were revisits. I was hosted by a very kind folks in Lithuania
as well as by several now longtime acquaintances in the Czech Republic.
As usual, I was blown away by East European hospitality. Here
are the emails I sent (including photo links) while traveling:

Visited by my cousin Darin and his wife Anne Oman -- Near the end of their 7 month round-the-world tour that focused on Hawaii, Independent Samoa, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium and France, they were preparing to ease back into normal life, but at a new location, settling in Boulder, Colorado. Here's a photo:
