Robin: And have a great trip.

I’m going to skip Internet resources today because I didn’t see anything that caught my eye. Last week as part of the episode on Yellowstone, we talked a little bit about stupid tourist tricks and I mentioned a picture that I had where someone was trying to take a picture with an elk. I put that up on amateurtraveler.com today as part of photo Friday. You should check out that post because there are all sorts of comments from other listeners or other readers of the blog who have had similar crazy experiences with seeing people do just really dumb things on vacation especially with wildlife. And speaking of the Yellowstone episode, in case you haven’t already looked it up as I did, Jennifer from Virginia tells us that baby moose’s, that a baby moose is called a calf. I stumbled over the name of that in last week’s episode. The gender names are taken from the cow family of mammals. They are so ugly, they are cute. I heard they have faces only a mother could love.

Mike also left a comment at amateurtraveler.com on the Antarctic episode, the recent one. “It’s an excellent episode. My vacations are usually enjoyed in warm, tropical locations and I have never had a desire to visit Antarctica until now. Thanks for sharing this gem with us. Great pics. I understand the packing dilemma with photo equipment. I tend to share the same tendency to over pack every camera lens and accessory I own. Very enjoyable podcast. Keep up the good work.”

And similarly, Dan from San Diego put a comment on the Venice episode. Venice and the Veneto that we did recently. “Venice is my favorite place to explore. I read Daughter of Venice before going and sought out places in the book except for regrettably the ghetto. I have a favorite café where I order lunch in Italian: 2 calzone, 2 beers, and the best tiramisu I’ve had. We splurged in Murano and bought a multi-colored chandelier. “ “Wow.” “We also paid too much for wine in the Rialto, paid too much for coffee in St. Mark’s Square and stayed in the fourth floor of a hotel with no elevator, all of which just made the trip much more memorable.”

Thanks to Virginia, Mike and Dan for making this show a little more memorable for me. If you want to do what they did, go to amateurtraveler.com and leave a comment on this or on your favorite episode or again go toamateurtraveler.com and share your stupid tourist stories, but good grief a hippo. Or drop me an emai and as always:

Thanks So Much For Listening!
