Okay two posts in a day is totally cheating. Sorry.
Last week we went to Maccau for a day. The city is known for gambling and prostitution, but I think it gets a bad rap. It was actually a very beautiful place with tons of stuff to take pictures of. We took a self guided walking tour out of the Lonely Planet which took us on about a three mile walk around a bunch of cool Portuguese architecture. We saw some amazing churches, a cool fort (complete with canons) that overlooks the city, the ruins of an old cathedral, and ended up in a Portuguese restaurant that was absolutely amazing.
After dinner we stopped in a casino for ninety minutes of gambling. I won $1000 HK on a slot machine in about twenty minutes and then cashed out. My jackpot more than paid for the day. It was only about $125 US, but there's something very gratifying about walking out of a casino with a crisp thousand dollar bill.
Pics are on Picasso.

...and he's back! You took some great pictures. Can't wait to see Japan through your eyes, too.
Dear Paul,
Have really enjoyed reading about your travels. Would you please give us a rough idea of where you plan to go next? Do you have a tentative date for coming home or is that too confining?
Anyway, enjoy. We are all enjoying it vicariously.
Love, Mary
