Palin's Travels
I've been watching Michael Palin's BBC travel shows for awhile now. His latest adventure is travelling the Himalayas. Awesome stuff. It's 5 one hour shows, I'm on the last 2. Anyway I discovered he has a web site set up to go along with his travels --

amazon in paper format. I've been watching his shows for so long I'm no longer associating him with Monty Python but instead the British dude who travels the world. Every once in awhile though he'll pull out a Python character to get a quick laugh from somebody he meets who knows him as a Monty Python guy. Anyway I do like his motto, don't be a tourist, be a traveller.
