Carter trashes NYC during his first subway ride. A brutally honest interview in which Carter declares the museums and parks to be boring (at least the ones that his mom took him too). But he saves his most brutal commentary for the famed hipster W Hotel. Full of "bugs" and "gum everywhere."

Dad's 65th birthday at John and Marykate's house.

How I went from 4 feet tall to 6ft tall in high school (no steroids). Vivian seems a little skeptical, but dad swears it is all true

Two amazing and eclectic artists of San Francisco's North Beach kick back and wax musical after an amazing night of great food and story telling.

Cruising around the Sacramento river after successfully installing a new battery.

Stranded on dead boat in the Sacramento river, at once "close" and so very far from civilization. Three brothers struggle to survive a desperate, harrowing situation. This is a story of skill, adaptation, hunger, thirst and the will to survive.

Video One (John and Kids)

Rising star soprano Inna Dukach performing at NYC's Bryant Park.

Not quite ready for a fork yet. Lucas turning 1 yr old in NYC.

Lucas walking after only two months with us!

When we met Noah at the orphanage in Viznivolocheck, he was reserved and played in a very orderly manner. He was shocked to see me just throw a ball across the room and immediately followed suit - all the while laughing like crazy!

Vivian and Clara, top Ommyad Mosque models strut their stuff in Damascus, Syria.

Bedouin family in their beehive structure. We were invited to a wonderful lunch.

Yep, this is the historic Orient Express, in Damascus, Syria.

Lovely girl from Damascus learing to play guitar. This is in the small courtyard where we lived in Bab Touma, the old Christian Quarter. We stayed at Um Sami's house. She's a widow who rents out a room. She has a lovely daughter and son.

Harrison Ford made it all look so difficult! That's the main problem with packaged tours (don't do it! go solo, find your own way!)

Wonderful Syrian children saying hello to us travelers in a variety of languages. This was all very spontaneous. We were visiting local Roman ruins at the time.

Traveling along the aptly named King's Highway with new friends from Ireland and USA that we met in Dahab, Egypt. We were traveling from Aqaba to Aman.

Forget Giza! You get these all to yourself. They pre-date Giza and were built by the same family. It the nearest you'll ever come to knowing what it might be like to walk on the moon.

Clara and Gilberto from Tijuana, Mexico, Lily from Chile.

Vivian contemplating breaching the mighty citadel.
