The rise of tourism as an industry, which makes so much of our travelling possible, is part of what we want to avoid when we travel. I'm waiting for you to do a swing through Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand next. (Last night we heard an interesting description from a friend of their trip through these countries.) But then you have sort of specialized in Europe and North Africa, which is well worth doing.Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-32102582989105458262011-06-25T08:12:05.514-04:002011-06-25T08:12:05.514-04:00Thanks for sharing the ugly.

My father visited an uncle in Laterza once, about 45 years ago, and was really struck by the poverty and living conditions.Dog_geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797650391128520269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-58619022064273946142011-06-24T11:22:03.658-04:002011-06-24T11:22:03.658-04:00I had heard about the ugliness in Naples, which is...I had heard about the ugliness in Naples, which is a shame, since it could be so lovely in its location. When I make my tour someday, I'll remember that excellent tip: never end your tour on ugly.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-6522285045483646942011-06-24T10:03:09.671-04:002011-06-24T10:03:09.671-04:00Thanks for the tour and the history notes.Thanks for the tour and the history notes.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.com
