"Ichigo (strawberry) is a delicacy in Japan. Although imported, just a bite into it kept me drooling and motivated me to take this picture. In spite of the long, tiresome transit stopover in Japan for India, the taste of the strawberry and this picture urges me to visit Japan."

"This picture was taken in June, 2002. A friend and I had taken the bus to the northern side of the island to see some sites. Cap-Haitien is the second largest city in Haiti and was the original capital when the French still governed the country. There is a bit of history here, but even more striking was the view of homes as we walked across a bridge on one of the city's main streets."

"This picture was taken at El Pueblo Resort, Convention Hotel and Casino in Lima, Perú, during a celebration for Peruvian Independence Day (July 28^th). In the center you can see a tree with several strings and stuff hanging out of it. This is actually kind of a piñata tree, the stuff hanging out are gifts, T-shirts, balloons, candies, etc. While people dance and have fun around the tree (at a safe distance), each person picks a string (some strings will have a gift at the other end, some do not) and someone will be hitting the tree with an ax and pass the ax to the next person. This will continue on until the tree falls, then the people come towards the tree to get their treats."

My mother made them this reversible quilt, which they wrapped themselves in right after they opened it."

Description:
"Cycling between Coba and Tulum, we stopped to rest and restock our supplies at a roadside shop. Our visit attracted little attention from the locals, though we did not go unnoticed by some."
