I was on tour with Richmond Publishing in Mexico. I visited Mexico City, Puebla, Veracruz and Monterrey. It was great being there for the Day of the Dead celebrations. Here are some photos of the ‘ofrendas’ (offerings) that were on display on the night of November 1st at the UNAM. This year, the ‘ofrendas’ were dedicated to the writer Octavio Paz.

The bookshops in Mexico City are amazing, almost as good as those in Buenos Aires. Here’s a picture of me at one of the most impressive.

I visited Argentina for a two-week tour with Richmond. My tour took in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, Santiago, Tandil and Rosario. Here are some photos from the FAAPI conference which was held in Santiago del Estero and of a welcome break on our journey in the wonderfully Sierra de las Quijadas.
Jane Cadwallader and I had a great time together on the road. Here are some photos of the tour we did to a bodega in Mendoza.

Here are some photos of my trip to Brazil in July 2008.
I gave a plenary at Braztesol in Fortaleza. Here is a photo of the event and another two taken at LABCI in Sao Paulo the year before.
Thanks Cintia for sending the photos to me – better late than never!
