Unfortunately, after a grueling 8.5-hour train ride with broken air conditioning, I am again in the throes of a violent stomach illness. I know that many of you have been waiting for an update with photos, but unfortunately, I just don’t have the energy to do it right now.
I’ll try again tomorrow.
The Long Road to Venice 
hope you feel better soon!! I would say “lots of water” however that’s probably what you have to be careful of. How about lots of airconditioning and sleep!!
im here at your home looking at these pictures with pebbles ;). truly amazing tad, both your trip and these pictures. but my goodness, get lots of sleep and feel better and find some people to bring you things and check in on you!
(oh and im darn glad those people in the jail are papier-mache. at first, i wasnt sure what to think about them.)
I hope you feel better. Maybe someone didn’t wash their hands before serving you your dinner. I hope tomorrow you’ll have some pictures and info for us.
get well, tad-o! wishing you a quick turn-around on the silk road to recovery.
(i hope puns dont cause further stomach irritation).
