I really enjoy reading your travel journals. It's almost like being there! Your description of the spice markets really brought back memories of bulging burlap bags, overflowing barrels, and boxes filled with strange but wonderful smelling things!

Thinking about it inspires me to have some herbals... in a glass of Bombay Sapphire!

We had an incident like that down here recently:http://www.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/21003309015872/ but it seems prudent to stop and question someone photographing an airport parking garage.
I was stopped in Ireland back in the Seventies for taking pictures from a bus. I didn't even know there was a prison in the area.
