Just finished that link...fabulous!
Do you remember in his last travelogue (or was it the one before?) where he found that
eccentric millionaire's abandoned villa? Awesome! Remember the columns and concrete stairs--without a handrail--
that spiralled up to the second floor? How on earth would the guy have had concrete in the middle of
nowhere? And like the ruins, the jungle was taking it all back...vines all over the place, creeping
around columns. I'll never forget those pics.
His focus on the numerous Agaves was astounding. Wonder if Josef (from Prague) knows of the link?
I'm sure he'd appreciate a PM.
Thanks for this, Barrie!
Great stuff on a SNOWY day....

Hey ... the thanks goes to Paul. His attention to detail and knowledge of plants is superior. My best attempt at such a travelogue would pale in comparison. Glad you'z had a chance to enjoy.
Cheers, Barrie.
