May 8 - Why travel?
Well, it might not be fair to pick on poor Baltimore, but the comparisons of Istanbul or Xian to cities in the US are obvious. We will be seeing cities where there has been a continuous civilization for 3,ooo years.Comparing the chimney of a power plant to the Registan in Samarkand is fairly dramatic. Of course the chimney is attached to the original John Hopkins medical school (circa 1910) and one can argue more lives were saved my modern medicine than religion but that is another debate..
