I hope everybody had a great Christmas and New Year – I did
Now I’m ever so slightly sunburned, and jet lagged… I took a few pics…. here they are …

Bolivia is a wonderful place, with wonderful people… and now I can say I’ve chewed coca leaves and eaten BBQ’d cow intestines
I will be back.. no question..

Although I know from experience that a New Year’s Eve party isn’t a sure cure for jetlag, it seems I never learn the lesson . I did manage to take a few pics, but when you’re in Georgefield, Nova Scotia, there just isn’t much to photograph other than snow and trees…I did get a few pics of those incredible Nova Scotia storm sunrises. I also am breaking the post-Greece rule of no people pictures, but when you’ve got nieces as beautiful as mine sometimes you have to break the rules – I just wish the pics of my other nieces had turned out .
Anyway – here are the pics – and as a special bonus, the incredible Rye, who spends his free time on Cruise Ships in the Antarctic when he isn’t rescuing damsels in distress, solving global warming, or picking me up at the airport gave me a video of a trip to the Antarctic on the ms Prinsendam when they unexpectedly ran into a bit of a storm – causing millions in damage to the ship, and resulting in more than a few injuries – when you watch this video, keep in mind this a 200+ meter long ship weighing in excess of 37,000 tons…
Have a great 2008!
