The most beautiful place in the World
Gotta disagree with National Geographic. Torres del Paine is the most beautiful place in the World. Only those who go there know the view from this lodge on Lake Peho...you captured the backdrop in this shot...the view from the front is the ultimate. What a fabulous time for you to be there...Autumn...braver than me!!! Fabulous pics as always.

So many most beautifuls in the world!

Every time I read one of your blogs I think "gosh we've got to add that to our list" I'm beginning to think we may have to move to South America the way you have because there is so much to do. Love it. Please keep the stories coming.

Rich South America!
There is so much down here--I think for a visitor, the choice of where to visit would be daunting. But then again, there are so many amazing places everywhere. Look forward to yours on DC.
