Just going to leave this beautiful Suh-Weet Shot from Paris, France  here for you to admire. I am in love with this pic.

So, I recently found out that Eva Peron and I share a birthday. And oddly, the day of her death falls on my mom’s birthday. As an icon in Argentina who is still remembered and revered, I wanted to put this Suh-Weet Shot up of her mausoleum entrance around a significant date in her life. Well, I couldn’t very well put it up on mom’s birthday now could I? Born on May 7, she became a global icon whose image was shaped and solidified (for better or worse) by Andrew Lloyd Webber. When you visit Buenos Aires, the Recoleta Cemetery is typically part of the tourist’s route. Just follow the crowds and you’ll wind up at her resting place. If you really want to learn more about her, take a cab or a longer leisurely stroll to the Evita Museum from Recoleta (I’ve walked it. It is possible). There’s a good deal about her early life, time as the first lady of Argentina as well as information about the whole sordid affair of her body being stolen and missing for years. Tonight I won’t cry for you Eva, but I just might raise a glass of Malbec to you.

In previous Suh-Weet Shots, I showed off the cliffs of Ireland and a beautiful old Irish castle, both on the west coast. Of course, the most renowned thing to see in western Ireland are the cliffs of Moher. Steep dropoffs into the cold North Atlantic are seen from the lookout platform. If I’m being 100% honest, they are beautiful and are great for photographs, but I wasn’t awestruck either. Maybe it was the day. Maybe it was my expectations. It should definitely be part of your itinerary, but you won’t need more than an hour, especially if the day is wet and overcast like the day I took this shot.

Yesterday was ANZAC Day. If you’re not from Australia or New Zealand, you will be forgiven for not understanding its significance. If you are from Australia or New Zealand, it’s a big deal as I found out while visiting the World War I battlefields in Gallipoli, Turkey where thousands of Allied and Ottoman Empire forces died. It was these battles that shaped in part the national identities of Australia and New Zealand which were still young in their young in terms of being independent nations of Great Britain. The Aussies, Kiwis and Turks visit this place with the same reverence that US travelers have in visit the beaches of Normandy in France. While many of the sites we visited were memorials to the Aussie and Kiwi soldiers, there were several that paid homage to the fallen Turks.

More than anything, I was struck at how Anzac Day has come to strengthen the ties between Turkey and Australia and New Zealand. There was an openness and a welcoming feeling expressed towards the visitors. I can’t imagine another place where the home team pays homage to the fallen soldiers of the other side on their national soil. It’s quite incredible actually. It sounds odd to call this week’s photo from a sacred battlefield our Suh-Weet Shot of the week. But, this photo captures the true awesomeness of the field in which these tombstones lie.

Last week, I had a shot of a horse on Easter Island and I couldn’t resist throwing up one more Suh-Weet Shot from there. Just outside the town of Hanga Roa (likely where your hotel or hostel would be) within walking distance is the beach with Te Ata Hero, a series of 5 moai on one platform. Given that it’s on the west coast, people flock there at sunset for a truly magical end to the day. If you want to read about my time traveling to Easter Island, feel free. For now, I’ll just leave you with this little shot of mine.

I so loved Easter Island. In a country like Chile with major contrasts, Rapa Nui (its traditional name), offers something completely different. Given it’s polynesian roots, those who have been to Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti or elsewhere in the Polynesian triangle will feel a certain familiarity upon arrival. I bought a last minute 4 day/3 night package in Santiago for under $500 (flight, hotel, 3 tours and breakfast included). Given Easter Island’s notoriety for being an expensive destination, I jumped on that deal.  The next time I go, I will spend extra time to hike and bike around the island. The tours are great for seeing the major sites and hearing about the history. In fact, this Suh-Weet Shot came from our tour of the volcano where the moai (aka the big headed statues) were carved. But, I also wish I had more time to explore alone. So, the next time, I will be sure to build that in to my itinerary. One quick tip, outside the hotel, the island operates mostly via a cash-based economy. Take extra pesos as there is only one ATM on the island.

Today is my niece’s birthday so for today’s Suh-Weet shot I thought I would post a photo from our trip together to Greece. During my career break, I had the chance to travel with her for three weeks around the country. We packed in a full itinerary: Crete, the windmills of Mykonos, a sunset in Mykonos, a sunset in Santorini, and the red beach of Santorini (among many, many other beaches around Greece), we spent a good deal of time in Athens. It gets a bit of a bad rap. But, we loved it. Our hotel had a panoramic view of the city and our room had a direct view of the Parthenon. In addition to seeing the traditional sites in the city, we used Athens as our base to take day trips to Delphi and the surrounding islands. While Greece wasn’t my favorite country, traveling to Greece with my niece was definitely one of the highlights of my career break.

The first hike of my career break was just outside of Santiago, Chile to see the El Morado Glacier. I was about 4 weeks into it and was ready to see something besides a city. It was a field trip organized by my language institute. From our parking spot the hike took a couple of hours to arrive to the glacier. But, I didn’t care. The path snaked through the colorful Andes. The palate was a mix of muted greens, browns, ochre red and purples. This is why I had to make this pic this week’s Suh-Weet Shot. The mountainsides were steep drops from jagged peaks. If you go, be sure to take plenty of food and water. There are no facilities past a nearby small town. If you suffer from motion sickness, some ginger ale wouldn’t hurt as the road has several switchbacks through the mountains. If you are traveling to Chile and have some extra time in Santiago, find a way to take a day trip out to the El Morado Glacier.
