More desolation than you can handle!

During the past month, we've been pretty busy over at Desolation Travel.

· We expanded beyond the former Soviet Union just a bit with
a post about Detroit and rural Pennsylvania.

· Nicola shared her tale and photographs from a December trip to Kazakhstan, complete with nicotine-craving mafia burglars.

· Ben R provided us with a travel guide to and photographs of the breakaway republic of Transdniester.

· Derek promptly went to Transdniester, and shared his story of bribery and extortion

· And lastly, in a fit of pique over the cancellation of my planned trip to the DMZ this weekend (cancelled, of course, due to the shelling of Yeonpyeong-do), I posted about
North Koreans in Russia, and added my story and photographs from my trip to the DMZ in 2004.

If you'd like the direct links to our sites, here you go:

And if, for some inexplicable reason, desolation isn't your thing,
check out Charlie being petted and purring!
(The purr becomes audible around the 15-20 second mark.)
