Four years later- it's time to carry on with the journey and retrieve the memeory

My 2009 Middle East and East Africa trip ended on October 12th, 2009. Four years later, I'm still unable to complete the blogs. The unfinished blogs leaves an unfinished journey. It was a rough and yet rich journey. Putting such a journey into words is quite daunting for me given my limited writing skills. The unfinished work, however, has been hanging in my head for the past four years. I have yearned for the completion of the blogs and archiving the memory.
The pencil scrip in the journal has become blurry over these years. Yet the experience has come back while I read them......
It's time to carry on with the journey and bring it to a closure.

On a summer evening ( September 8th, 2013), four years after my 2009 world trip, I traced my foot print on the map and came up with a list of areas I had traveled through on that trip:

(June 11th, 2009)-- Jordan ( Amman- Petra- Wadi Rum- Aquba)
