Found the Kadıköy bull today.

Apparently you’re supposed to take a picture with him, so here we are. 😎

Spent the rest of the afternoon wandering the streets, drinking coffee and getting completely lost which I’m starting to think is the best way to see Istanbul.

Kadıköy has been good to me. 🇹🇷

I didn’t expect to end up in Coconut Village, floating down a river lined with palm trees that looked like something out of a movie.

It’s funny how travel works. Sometimes the places you never planned to visit end up becoming your favorite memories.

Cold b**r. Warm night. Thousands of scooters going by and somehow nobody crashes.

Found a rooftop bar in Ho Chi Minh City and decided my sightseeing responsibilities could wait until tomorrow.

One cold b**r, a great sunset, and a city that never seems to slow down.

Retirement is turning out to be a lot more work than I expected.

No tour guide. No plan. Just walking the streets of Saigon and seeing where the day goes.

I asked the waiter what was in this dish.
He explained it.
I asked again.
He explained it slower.
I still have no idea what I ate.
10/10. Would order it again. 🍷🇻🇳

One thing I’ve learned about traveling:The less of a plan I have, the better the day usually turns out.

Anyone else love oysters, or am I in the minority?

I ordered a dozen tonight in Ho Chi Minh City.

A few years ago I wouldn’t have touched them.

Now I’m sitting here wondering if ordering a second round is a bad idea.

Life comes at you fast.
