Rick, Although I haven't been commenting, I have been reading your travelogue with great interest. I almost feel as tho0gh I can say 'been there; done that' without having to actually do the planning or pay the price, but also missing out on the little tidbits and immersion in another culture that such travel provides. Well done and thanks for taking all of us along on that, interesting shall we say, RoadTrip.
