World Traveler

Bill and Von took photos of all their posts and trips.  Most are in slide format.  Many of the slides have faded over the years.   I tried to pick one or two photos for each country they lived in or visited. There are many gaps.

Exclusions include:
- Countries that Von visited but I had doubts about Bill's presence
- Countries that I couldn't identify (except two that I couldn't resist posting)
- Countries that I couldn't find photos
- Photos that were included in other posts (e.g., everything water)

The photos are not in chronological order.

  1. re: last image.
    Now I see why no family members volunteered for Bill's acupuncture services.

  2. he he. According to Von, those back things are for treating ailments - first heated and then applied to the back. I'm wondering about those nail-looking things.

  3. Indeed it is cupping in Yemen. Since original memorial post in 2014 I have identified country and Googled that this was a practice. Still seems rather brutal.
