I’ve spent the last three months eating cheap authentic international food in restaurants, including Paris! taken over 1000 photos and tomorrow I’m flying to Mali – so keeping very busy. Splitting the year into individual trips is more expensive but a good idea to prevent burnout. Some of the Internet Cafes are quite slow so I haven’t been spending time uploading hi-res photos to photosharing websites but here’s a taste…
From market day in Guatemala, Mayan cooking in Mexico, relaxing on an island off Belize, Iguanas in Honduras, An evening in LA, USA, Resort chaos in Phuket, Thailand, Trees strangling ruins in Cambodia, Traffic rules in Hanoi, Vietnam, Covered shopping in Paris, France (where I had to obtain my Mali visa as there’s no embassy in London).
