This is an ad for Discovery Channel that's well worth watching.

As many friends and family know, I hate ads, but this one is different. It really makes you feel good.

Many thanks to John Conners for his excellent blog article about "The March of Time"

Sugar Loaf & Botafogo - Brasil

Another wonderful postcrossing post card.

Many thanks to Giullia from Brasil who sent me this postcard of some of the sights near Rio De Janiero.

Vasa - Sweden

Warship Vasa - Sweden

Another postcard from Don.

The Vasa sank on her maiden voyage in 1628. Not in battle - but because she was built incorrectly, and none of the designers had the courage to tell the king that there were problems. She just tipped over as soon as she got into rough waters.

She sat on the ocean floor till 1961, when she was raised, and is now in a museum in Stockholm.

Tallinn - Estonia
