Have a 40% off voucher right here.

Shall pass by with it on my way to or from the gym tomorrow.

Must buy the Kennet Bros book too. How do I not own that?

I just finished Llamas and Empanadas - wow! I do not know if I have the stuff to do something like this. It is an amazing story, I'm looking forward to your next book.

Elanor, your photos are wonderful. my favorites are "sugar babies", "spices' and "road to the end of the world" you use a lot of natural light, what kind of camera did you use?

I'm glad you liked it. Of course you have the stuff to do something similar. We all have it. Sometimes it just takes a little digging to unearth it...

I used an old school Nikon FG20 SLR. Fuji 400 film. I like the colours that Fuji gives the best. Seems to reflect what I see most accurately.

When is it going to be available from a US publisher. I can't seem to get around to ordering it elsewhere.

Maybe someone visiting from California soon will loan me her copy.

This book has thrown a wrench in my travel plans. I've been diligently planning a touring trip to NZ next year and received wonderful advice from the ladies here. Then I ordered this book and dh read it first, as well as a touring Central American book and is completely wanting us to change our plans and head to Patagonia next year instead.

I just started reading the book and must admit it is calling to me. DH has indicated since I choose the last place we visited, he's allowed to delay NZ and opt for Patagonia for our next trip. What's a girl to do!!!

Eleanor, love the book so far, such an easy, flowing writing style!

Alas, it won't be published in the US. The closest you can get is to order it from Amazon Canada. Sorry about that!

Go to Patagonia, of course.

Thank you. I'm very glad you're enjoying it. It's so nice to be able to share what was a really wonderful trip.

How did that happen?

**CLM** · 02-10-2008, 08:00 PM

I just ordered the book from Amazon Canada (one click shopping is a dangerous thing!). I can't wait to read it.

London Bike Thieves. They know their D-locks. Probably sold it for £30 up Brick Lane.
