I am starting a new “tag” for impressions so that I can say how what I am seeing and hearing affects me and what I think about it.

The tags in this blog are:

– Chron  — updates on travels and activities, more or less in order

– Map –- yes, maps

– Itinerary – what we are doing, when and where

– Books – recommended reading to understand the situation here

– Background – historical information and perspective to help understand how the past continues to affect the present here
