Neat birds. Here are some more rodeo photos (see them all here).







The clown asks for a fat, ugly volunteer from the audience...


The "volunteer" goes into the machine, which gets stuck in the on position, then a kid in the same outfit comes out...

This is Moreno Lake, near Llao Llao in patagonia during Nobember 2006. (It is hard to write down a phonetic pronunciation for this. Think chow chow but with an "sh" sound instead of a "ch" sound.) Llao Llao is near Bariloche, another one of our favorite places. We rented a perfectly good one bedroom apartment there for $500/month. Bariloche is a ski resort and November is off-season for them - their early spring. Bariloche has a good bus system and it only costs about a buck for the 30 minute ride from downtown Bariloche to Llao Llao. Private taxis (remis) are good, safe, and cheap also.

Gorgeous pictures, I hadn't checked this thread for a while. It took 50 seconds (I timed it) to download. How about the next person who wants to post pictures start a new thread?

Annecy is a charming medieval town that was luck enough to have not suffered war damage and poor enough to avoid urban renewal. Lac d'Annecy "decants" into a series of canals that flow through the town. It must have been the healthiest place in Europe at the time.

I was delighted to see that Firedreamer's photos show that the lovely old place hasn't changed. We even took almost the same photos! Mine alas show 25 years of discoloration.

The surf has been big lately, and here, where it gets deep fast, the waves have an interesting way of breaking on the shore.
