Thank you for this splendid 'roving reporter' series of posts, Barry!
You have given us a very good balance of the whole trip, a sense of the country and culture, many, many moments with the heavy hitters in the arts, in manufacture, and great photos, some particularly fine, for example, the colored scrim knife, and elephant closeup.
Enjoy your whole visit, and safe travels upon your return.
Barry and Roger
Y'all don't have to fly across the world to see sculptures of decapitations and bodies lying around like that Duomo di Milano place. Save your money and cruise down to Juarez sometime and see the real thing, as it's happening! Heck, they'll even make you the guest of honor, like it or not!
All kidding aside, thank y'all for sharing your trips with us.
