In homage to The Paper's favorite way of packaging information, I thought I'd do a By the Numbers Guide for my trip.
More pictures are coming today. Patience, kids, patience.

Still in D.C. trying out a new job with my newly minted graduate degree, a tidy little apartment, a rather large (and not-so-tidy) man. And yet, still itching to see the world.

Four marriage proposals (all refused) is my favorite one.
How many hookahs did you smoke though, that's gonna be the toughie to count up...use your fingers, toes and the fingers and toes of your friends if need be!
Oooh. Good question. Probably about 8 or 10. Sadly, that's still not enough. ;)
