About Scribi
In short, it's about travel. But it's more than travel. It's about
photographs, but it's more than a collection of pictures.
It's about writing, but it's more than a list of places and itineraries.
It's seeing, smelling, touching, hearing.
It's about experience.

Editorials
Ramblings, some actually pithy, cogent, and even useful.
From Rick B.,
our editor/photographer
and floor-sweeper at large.
Places: Start at the World
Points to the top 'Place' directory (the world), where
you can drill down to locations of interest, starting from
general areas (continents) and ending at specific locations.
This is an intermediate solution — expect it to change.
(Also note the global nav popup at each index page and
each article page can do the same thing.)
Articles/Photo Gallery Indexes
Here is a flat list of all of the end directories (places) that
have article sets.
This saves you from having to drill down through directories
(With
the caveat that this list will eventually get quite long!)
Random Article
Like to flip open a book and just start reading from there?
So do we (ed: so do I, anyway - it's a fun way to go through
collections, and Scribi is ultimately a collection of
collections.)
Here's the digital equivalent. Click on this and it will take
you to a random article where you can start reading,
or, you can navigate to that articles photo gallery, or to
the index, or a sidebar, or...!
Photo Essays
We've got a lot of photos.
We've arranged them topically, here,
instead of by place, with a minimum of verbage to wade through. You can
back-link and read the corresponding place articles, if you're so inclined.
These are collections of some of the best in the Scribi
gallery - many are available as prints or in calendar collections, too.
Vignettes
Traveling about, you meet people!
Or you encounter unique situations that just demand description,
but reach beyond the province of a single trip.
Here then, is a collection of (mostly written) essays of notable
encounters - some humorous, some not so humorous,
some thoughtful, and a few that are flat-out inspirational.
All, we hope, you find entertaining and insightful
Travel Thoughts
Having travelled to a number of places in a number of ways, we've
naturally accumulated some thoughts on the subject.
Here are some
tricks, tips, and ruminations on all sorts of travel issues -
packing, getting here to there, unpacking,
and getting around, once you get there, all without breaking the bank.
And maybe a few cranks, too...
Scribi Store
Doo-dads to put a smile on your face and tell the world,
"Hey! I'm a discerning Scribi reader!"
Should you want to tell the world such a thing, we'll have coffee cups,
tee-shirts and polo-shirts, and even our own super-duper coffee blend to
pop those eyes open so you can read more Scribi articles!
Scribi Bookstore
Of course, we'd love you to just read Scribi!
But, fact is, there is a lot of good material out there
to help you pique your travel sense.
There's also a lot of junk and
uninformative sing-song. Here are reviews of some of the better titles
we've found, as well as a those that weren't too helpful
(but we'll be happy to sell you a copy, if you just gotta have it.)
Some CD's and movies, too, just because we've got
our faves. Besides, you never from what source inspiration is going
to bonk you on the head and say, "Hey! Go somewhere!"
Letters to:
And finally, if you just have to get in your own two cents on
this site or other relevant issues, we'd love to hear from you.
Complimentary comments just may get posted! But, we'll try to
take your un-complimentary comments to heart, too.

Scribi to the World!
We are now online for all the world to see. The subscription,
e-commerce, and membership mechanisms are now in place and
we are removing the blocking password. In short, we're
public.
You'll note a few minor design changes - the bar of pictures on the
right, for instance. Also, the popout navigators on the content
pages work much better, now.
We've Got Lots of Photographs!
These are a sample of the many photographs in articles.
Follow the links on the left to article sets (either the
'Places' link to drill down, or the 'Articles/Photo Gallery Indexes'
link to go directly to a flat list of article sets.
