I only recently found your blog listed in the TV Guide. So I am currently trying to catch up to current. I am loving the pics of Nunu. My Mom has a chihuahua named Rosalita. Black and tan. So sweet! Loving the pics of your travels, living vicariously thru you!

The second the weather shifts, their umbrellas turn inside out, the trains stop running and everybody ducks for cover. The Inuit cope with ice, Russians with snow, Africans heat and sandstorms and Equatorians humidity, but nobody knows what to do when it rains in Britain. <BR/><BR/>And yes, do be a good sport and enlighten us about the dried up torso.
