  2. Hey...I have no clue (nor do I care). I only wish I was there. The pictures make my heart ache to be in this foreign land...Oh to be a mathematician...No that isn't right...Oh yes to be a traveler with no other cares but to see new and old places. You Max are a fortunate one! Are you really there to learn something? Please keep the pictures coming and enjoy all that there is...love...Karen
