I eat a primarily raw vegan diet (no small feat in the Midwest!) My husband is not raw or vegan but I love him no less and he eats every raw concoction I put in front of him so I have no complaints. I'm from the Caribbean and he is native to Ohio so we travel quite a bit.

Bryan Au said… - Very cool photos! I like the luggage one! I have been everywhere around the world right now is my first time in Tokyo and if you have not been here yet WOW, SUPER WOW is all I can say! I have been EVERYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD but Tokyo takes the cake as the most amazing experience and city hands down and there are so many reasons too! But I am having my book translated into many languages and will promote it around the globe as it is a big planet to save!
