TODAY, WE CELEBRATE MORE THAN 140,000 UNIQUE VISITORS TO THIS BLOG
While that is a total, cumulative readership, vs. daily readership...in gross numbers, it is within a few thousand of the daily circulation of the Miami Herald.
We have ranted for a better built environment, especially for people with disabilities.
We have shared more than 1,000 fine art images of Istanbul, New Orleans and dozens of other favorite destinations.
We have shared news of great urban design by firms we are proud to be affiliated with.
In more than 95 percent of the posts, the writing and photography is original -- as in we took the images and wrote the words.
When it is not, we give full credit to the original source.
Today, we share a picture from Bursa, Turkey.
About an hour before dusk, observant Muslims were lining up at bakeries to buy special loaves for Ramazan.
We were invited to share in this breaking of fast, simply when we were sitting in a park just after dark.
The fellowship was divine.
We are not very religious, certainly not of the Muslim faith.
And our kind, informal hosts knew this.
But they simply wanted to share in the holy month.
This is what travel is about.
This is what mankind is about.
Why our president or any other insane elected officials would falsely and maliciously associate Islamists with terrorists is beyond comprehension.
Today, we celebrate peace-loving, mankind loving people around the globe.
A few weeks per year, we are blessed to make these new friends.
