		<title>Venice, Italy October visit, Day one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first visit to Italy and my first stop is Venice. We arrived at Marco Polo Airport in the late afternoon and caught an Alilaguna ferry to Piazza San Marco.

		<title>Went skiing at Mt. Baldy today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went skiing on Mt. baldy today. The snow was soft, the sun was out, and there was hardly anybody out there enjoying it all. I know most people were at work but the few of us that thought skiing was a better option for today had the place to ourselves. No waiting at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Few days in Cuzco, Peru</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cuzco is a beautiful, old city with many stone paved streets in the city center.

		<title>Granada and the Alhambra.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Granada is a city I could visualize myself living in, though I would find it difficult to be so far away from the beach. Central Granada has the usual combination of old and new buildings. Gran Via de Colon and Calle Reyes Catolicos are main streets that have restaurants and other businesses lined along them.

		<title>Amazon Jungle Lodge Peru part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were at the Explorama Lodge in May, so we avoided the crowds that can arrive during June, July and August. It was just three of us, and our guide Segundo, so we didn’t have to wait for anybody else. Our days included going on hikes through the jungle and jumping on a small boat to cruise around the Amazon River. Everywhere we went we saw some amazing, diverse vegetation, animals and insects.
