Unfortunately, when li'l laptop wandered off, she took more than my heart and some incoherent ramblings with her - she also took hundreds of photos which I had downloaded but not backed up. So, things you won't find here:
- Photos of Iguazu National Park (Cataratas del Parque Nacional Iguazú), home of some of the most spectacular waterfalls, jungles, and wildife, in the Americas;
- Photos of my lovely friend Yoko, looking quite sophisticated in a breezy white ensemble as she lounges by the sparkling swimming pool of an exquisite beach mansion on the gold coast of Uruguay;
- The photos, story, or setup of the scene as Yoko's brother-in-law Justin proclaims, "I'm no fluffer, I'm just there for the money shot;"
- Hundreds of photos of street art from Montevideo, Uruguay's capital and home of some of the most prolific and profound street art anywhere;
- Photos of framed pics of Adolph Hitler on a street vendor's table two blocks from the Jewish Center headquarters of Montevideo, or concomitant musings on the nature of a society that can tolerate such disparate poles in such proximity;
- Photos of the skyscrapers of Buenos Aires peaking above the horizon across the massive, muddy, red Rio de la Plata from the 400-year-old Uruguayan colonial town of Colonia del Sacramento;
- Audio recordings of birds from the jungles of Argentina or the coast of Uruguay; and,
- Many other things that have slipped my mind at this distant date.

wow....bummer about the laptop. You'll have to go back and relive the experiences so you can rephoto them, and fer god's sake back them up!
Sir, your loss is a tragedy but could have been averted if you had been using real film instead of the delicate and practically non-existent digital photo data. Come to think of it if you stayed here and submitted to the 40 hour work week instead of prancing about in some Godless backwater you would not have gotten your portable stolen.
