Happy New Year Chris. I am glad you had a good holiday and that Liz was able to join you. We enjoyed our first European Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year. They really seem to like Chistmas in Belgium and decorate everything to the hilt. The Christmas Village and all the decorations in Brussels were really entertaining, as were all the revellers. We spent New Year's Eve at a party held by the French delegation. Nice affair but I will never learn to like caviar. What is the attraction to salty fish eggs

One of the highlights of my visits to Moscow was always the banquets with caviar canapés washed down with vodka. Food of the gods! But maybe it's as well that you don't like it, because I heard on the radio news today that there is a serious problem of overfishing for sturgeon in the Caspian Sea, and that caviar production needs to be drastically curtailed.
Good luck with all your upcoming trips, and thanks for the joeysplanting link. He certainly takes excellent photos. When we're in Cape Town next month we plan to spend a day at the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens. I expect I'll take plenty of photos there, though not up to his standard.
