I hadn't seen those before and was blown away by the pictures of Bolivia. Impresionate. I had seen photos before of that country but none as striking as those. That photog did a fabulous job. That country is definitely on my short list of places I wish to visit. Regarding the guinea pig on a stick, yum, yum. A few months ago one of my readers for Cody's Cuentos emailed me some photos of her in Ecuador eating this delicacy and some local women preparing it for her. Of course she said it takes almost like chicken. Doesn't everything? :) Speaking of food...Graham, that description of OINK gave me a hankering for some Scottish hog-roast rolls. The article says that they are similar to North Carolina pulled pork sandwiches, which I love!!! Chicos,

Very nice. And I was pleasantly surprised to see a slideshow there too of my home town: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/08/13/travel/0813-SCOTLAND_index.html Thanks for sharing that link.

The villages really seem very charming…and the beaches look beautiful — quite a big difference between what I’m used to here in the Northeast US. I noticed a couple of other really cool photo galleries as well, of Bolivia and Ecuador (picture #8 in the Ecuador gallery seems, ummm, appetizing?): http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/08/10/travel/0810-BOLIVIA_index.html http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/08/17/travel/0817-ECUADOR_index.html These are all places I'd love to have a chance to visit in the future!

I hope I'll get back to Catalonia in the future! Although they're not likely to finish Sagrada Familia in this century, are they? :) Lamento por no haber visitado la Costa Brava cuando estuve en Barcelona en 2006 :(

This is all very close to where I live. Indeed, this is a fascinating place. I have spent a year here already and it never stops amazing me. Thank you for sharing that link! Oh this is so beautiful!
