		<title>Top Photos of 2009 &#8211; The Vines of Mendoza Private Vineyard Estates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have no idea how many photos I took at the vineyard in 2009 &#8212; probably close to 10,000.  I kept 2.478 and these are my favorite 10.
And most importantly, this is the group of people at The Vines of Mendoza who made it all happen.

		<title>El Norte de Argentina</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent a week driving through the North of Argentina.  4,400 km from Mendoza up through Cafayate, Colome, Cachi, Salta &#38; Tilcara.  We found wonderful and intense wines in Cafayate, great music in Salta, amazing tamales and humita, wonderful people, sandboarding and the only bullfight in Argentina.  I can&#8217;t wait to go back.

		<title>Riding elephants in Laos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They are big&#8230;huge actually.  I guess that should not be surprising.  They were also super gentle and very slow.  There are only about 2,000 elephants left in Laos &#8212; as economic development continues in the country, they are losing their habitat and their jobs.  It&#8217;s expensive to feed an elephant &#8212; they eat 200 kilos [...]]]></description>
