Laguna Colorada, Bolivia

First stop, Bolivia, and Laguna Colorada, about forty-three hundred meters up in the Altiplano. It's a saltwater lake no more than thirty-five centimeters deep, with red water, white beaches and a colony of flamingos. Pink lake, pink birds. Somebody planned that.

Amphawa Floating Market, Thailand

Then Thailand, and the Amphawa afternoon floating market, by the canal near Bangkok. Riverside stalls along the Mae Klong, sizzling street food and local flavors. I'm arriving hungry. On purpose.

Johannesburg, South Africa

Over to South Africa, and Johannesburg. A city of energy, creativity, history and reinvention, with contemporary art and vibrant neighborhoods. Joburg, you had me at energy.

Rouen, France

Next, Normandy, and the thousand-year-old city of Rouen. The Seine runs right through it, crossed by no fewer than six road bridges, and each one tells part of the city's story. Six bridges. I'll be walking all of them.

Doolin, Ireland

Then Doolin, in Ireland, famous for traditional music, cozy pubs and wild Atlantic scenery. Pretty Irish, wouldn't you say? One song, one pint, then just one more.

Polar bears, the Arctic

Now, somewhere in the Arctic. Polar bears, and you could go looking for them in Alaska, Canada, Greenland or Norway. I'll bring the binoculars. And a much bigger coat.
