      Whoa don't diss Rick. Personally I'd like to see them collaborate in a video. I think it would be travel perfection then.

    That opera house looks similar to the one in Manaus, yes?

      Thanks! Maybe it will get more views when it wins some awards!

    I like your quirky style which is in contrast to Rick Steeves' show. That feast at the end looked amazing but it would have been nice to have heard from a local food writer. I think Giuliano, the net maker, is referring to Salvatore Giuliano the famous bandit!
