Hi Brit

We swiss as a sailing nation are very proud of our boat ;-)

>...I don't think any >publisher would be interested!

An Australian folklore song says something like "Boy,. .. if you want your bomerang back .. first you´ve gotta throw it.

A good quality photo book in a home, main room, for guests, is quite a must in some countries. Unfortunately not here in Brazil, but I do have one. I don´t know how it is in Great Britain, but your pictures (maybe 30 or 40 of them, in good quality paper) should be a sucess ! Publishers always run against the current.

>love beach shot with the red Eski!!

Most lovely place I´ve ever seen and been. Extremely cheap and beautiful. This red Eski was full of ... and ice, and was carried by a man, on his shoulders, for about nothing. Kind of embarassing, but quite good too. There are thousands of fresh water swimming pools within a dand desert, 1 yard deep. Tuff life !
Flight straight from Lisbon, or Madrid.

Hi Brit
You were considerate enough to write privately in reply to my query about travel insurance.
However, although I don't go in for rabbiting on about my health, there's no way I regard it as a secret and occasionally I have referred to heart problems or difficulty in going up steps in my reports. I always hope they will encourage others who aren't fully fit to rejoice in what they can do rather than brood about what they can't.
Basically I had a serious heart problem after flu in 1995 and, after a few days immobile in coronary care, I could only walk with the aid of two ward sisters. I now have an implanted machine of the above nature - roughly the opposite to a pacemaker. It tries [and usually succeeds] in keeping my heartbeat down when it gets too rapid. If that fails, it belts me with a sort of double electric shock, the first bit stopping the heart and the second starting it again.
Thanks again for your consideration.
Cheers,
David

Congratulations Brit. Best pictures I´ve ever seen. You should "write" a book with them, if you haven´t already done it.

Thanks for you comments. I do feel a little guilty as the response to the competition wasn't that great.

But as you said, I will sport my rucksack with pride.

Have a good day

Hi Brit,

It is unquestionable that your reports are filled with plenty of delightful details and expressed in a beautiful English language that I cannot but praise as an English teacher, translator-Interpreter and freelance tour guide.

You are mentioning my activity on Globo on a daily basis. Of course it is the case for now as I have been on Christmas holiday since Decemer 17th; we have a one-month leave during this period; but unfortunately (for Globo and not for my pupils, I hope so) I am returning to school on next Tuesday (not Monday as I do not work on Mondays, I have 3-day weekends. Please hold on until I may upload lots of photos of the food trucks (the "roulottes"). I will prepare a special slide show just for you.

Cheers Brit.

See you.

Thank you for being encouraging.
My incompetence accounts for lack of info on my site , and lack of courage!

You comments and photos are terrific.
Do not think I will ever get close - but please keep it up.

Thank you so much Brit,

As I have reached the maximum uploadable amount of pics for January, the only thing I can do now is producing new slide shows. In February I will add photos to the various slide shows already existing. And I also will have more time to browse through the thousands of pictures available on Globo.

Cheers.
