Beginning

I don't expect to become a permanent blogger, but a friend and colleague encouraged me to use this method to post some travelogues and photos of my upcoming travels. My wife Jane and I will be taking two big trips in coming months. First, four weeks in Europe (Sweden, Norway, Republic of Georgia, and Germany) with our sons Noah and Micah, and then a three-week trip to eastern Africa in the fall. So I'll give it a try.

In case you're wondering, the title of the blog is a riff on my last name. "Farlee" is apparently a variation on "far lea," which would mean "distant meadow." Probably where some equally distant ancestor farmed. It seemed poetic, and as good as anything.

So, tomorrow we leave. I won't have my laptop with me, so I don't know how often I'll be able to update, but I'll try!
