Book Review
Many people merely dream of traveling around the world. This highly unusual man acts on his dreams. Every time he starts to wonder about an interesting place he has not been, he simply packs his bags, grabs a camera and goes to the airport to claim his seat. Soon he is in Brazil, China, Africa or anywhere there are people to meet, things to see and do, like taking pictures, buying art, shaking hands, asking questions and being entertained by professional guides and story tellers. “Hello, how are you, good to meet you. I’m Leon Freeman from Memphis, Tennessee.” I found his introduction by a tribesman in Papua New Guinea as a cousin the most striking story of them all.
Mr. Freeman retired from his school teaching career and immediately set out to explore the world. Over the years he visited five continents, sixty-two countries and a string of islands ringing the globe like pearls. He discovered one satisfying fundamental fact: in human essence, we are all one. Whatever differences there might be in our outer physical appearance or our diverse cultural extensions, there are no qualitative differences to the principle: ‘all human babies are created equal.’
In this picture book, Mr. Freeman provides the viewer with unforgettable, vicarious experiences to enjoy time and time again for many years to come.

Comments for The Frog Blog UK: The blog of the Rainforest Alliance in the UK
Among acts coming this season are singer k.d. lang, entertainer Regis Philbin and comic Wanda Sykes. (Photos by Getty Images)
MUSIC
k.d. lang
Oct. 8
Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
She hasn’t been in the spotlight in a while, but lang is still a phenomenal interpreter of song, from folk to country to rock. A magical way to kick off the Kravis season.
COMEDY
Larry The Cable Guy, Nov. 19;
Wanda Sykes, Dec. 11
Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
He began as an unknown comic at the Comedy Corner in the old Carefree complex. Now, he’s Mr. Git-R-Done and a bonafide Disney star through his role as Mater in the Cars movies. Still, you might not want to take the kids to hear his more adult stand-up routine. Sykes’ show should be definitely for adult ears, and the Curb Your Enthusiasm star has always got something to say about everything from social conditions to relationships.
THEATER
‘The 39 Steps’; Nov. 1 – 13
Maltz Theatre, Jupiter
We all remember the Hitchcock movie, the beautiful woman and dashing man, he wrongly accused of murder, fleeing from a shadowy spy ring. Part of the fascination of this tale is how they will get such an action-based play to work on a stage.
‘All My Sons’; Nov. 12-Dec. 11
Palm Beach Dramaworks, West Palm Beach
Not only does the downtown theater continue its exploration of classic plays, starting off with Arthur Miller’s family drama, but it will be doing so in a new, expanded space at the old site of the Cuillo Center for the Arts at the foot of Clematis Street.
DANCE
Miami City Ballet; Dec. 9-11 Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
The acclaimed dance company kicks off another season under director Edward Villella with a smorgasbord of what the troupe does so well: pieces by Balanchine, Robbins and Tharp.
ART
Jenny Saville
Nov. 30-March 4
Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach
The young British artist’s work has been compared to Lucien Freud’s for her studies of the female body. Rarely has the Norton brought in such a contemporary artist, and it may indicate a change of thinking for the normally staid institution.
CLASSICAL MUSIC
Emerson String Quartet
Dec. 6
Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
The Grammy-winning quartet hasn’t played the Kravis in more than a decade, and they’re bringing a warhorse of a show — music by Haydn, Bartok and Beethoven.
CONCERT
Regis Philbin and Susan Lucci
Dec. 30
Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
He’s Reege. He yaks with the audience as much as he sings. And she’s Erica Kane. What else do you need to know about this surreal double bill?
THEATER
‘The Addams Family’
Nov. 8-13
Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
They’re creepy and they’re kooky. Brought to you by the team behind Jersey Boys and based on the Charles Addams cartoons-TV show-movies, this should prove to be one macabre musical — while still being fun for the family.
OPERA
‘Madama Butterfly’
Palm Beach Opera
Dec. 16-19
Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
The opera kicks off its season with a classic love story of the American sailor and Japanese geisha, part of a season of love that includes Romeo and Juliet and Lucia di Lammermoor.
CONCERT
The Music of Burt Bacharach, Cole Porter & More
The Palm Beach Pops
Nov. 29-Dec. 5
Eissey Theatre, Palm Beach Gardens; Kravis Center, West Palm Beach; FAU, Boca Raton
Tenor John Pagano sings the works of pop classicists from two different eras with one thing in common: musical sophistication.
ART
First Train to Paradise
Oct. 18-Jan. 8
Flagler Museum, Palm Beach
An exhibit devoted to the 100th anniversary of the building of the Over-Sea Railroad linking the South Florida mainland to Key West.

Perhaps the most visited area in Peru, Cuzco and its surrounding area is home to a wide array of archaeological sites and interesting cultural experiences. It’s proximity to Machu Picchu makes it the ideal place to stop over on one’s way to visit the aforementioned famed archaeological site, and it’s own local attractions give tourists a reason to linger in the ancient city for several days.
View from our hotel of the Main Plaza
A simple Google search can land you, seemingly, all the information you need to know about Cuzco; tourist agencies, hotels, local attractions, pictures. There is such an overwhelming amount of information and photos you might even feel like you don’t even need to go there, because you’ve already seen it all. Well, I’m here to verify that there is far more to see in and around Cuzco than you could ever possibly find in a Google search. You are guaranteed to say “this is unbelievable” so many times, that you have start looking for another phrase to use.
After many weeks of anticipation (and a heck of a lot of planning on Julio’s part) I collected my dad fresh off a plane from the USA and we set off for Cuzco for a week of exploring. Sending a history teacher and his archaeologist daughter into the oldest and one of the most ruin-laden cities in Peru is like sending two kids into a free candy store. We couldn’t be happier.
While we planned to do some of the most popular tours, we also chose a few lesser known excursions (at Julio’s suggestion). Although we didn’t know much about them, we were assured they were worth our time to check out, and that we certainly wouldn’t be disappointed
Shortly after arriving in Cuzco, we set out on the City Tour; one of the most popular tourist excursions, and probably one of the most economical. Having purchased a Tourist Pass (one ticket that allows entrance into multiple local sites and museums), participating in the City Tour allowed us to visit multiple places all in one go.
The City Tour brought us to 5 different places – each of them unique and fascinating
Our first sto was Coricancha, an Inca/Colonial site. The base of the site is the Incan Inti Kancha (Temple of the Sun). When the Spanish arrived in Cuzco, they sought to build the Church of Santo Domingo and built it on the remnants of the Inti Kancha to both demonstrate religious superiority and to make use of the Incan’s mastery of solid foundations.
It was really interesting to witness both Inca and Spanish design/construction at the same location beautiful oil paintings adorned walls adjacent to Incan rooms. A reminder of how Incan and Spanish history are forever fused together and of how the Spanish demonstrated there political superiority.
Deconstructed blocks illustrating Inca building strategies
Next on the tour were the ruins of Sacsayhuaman (which many people mistakenly pronounce as “Sexy Woman”). Sacsayhuaman is a huge site on the outskirts of the city that serves as an impressive reminder of the caliber of Incan construction capabilities. Giant 150-ton blocks of perfectly aligned and carved limestone compose the seemingly endless walls and terraces of the former ceremonial site. To this day it is still used for celebrations; the annual Inti Raymi festival takes place there.
Just to show you how big a 150-ton limestone block is!
Adjacent to Sacsayhuaman is the smaller site of Q’enko, which was the next stop on our tour. It served as a religious center for the Inca and sits on a small hillside. It is far less impressive, construction-wise, to Sacsayhuaman, but there are some interesting objects, including a cave, a monolith, and a wall of 19 seats carved into stone.
Stone seats at Q'enkoQ'enko
After Q’enko, we drove a few more minutes up the road to the site of Tambomachay. Located a short walk up a hill, the small site sits adjacent to a stream and boasts several channels and small waterfalls. Legend has it that if you drink the water from these fountains, you will stay young forever. And incidentally enough, Cuzquena beer is manufactured in Cuzco with water from the same stream that feeds Tambomachay. Therefore drinking it is also supposed to keep you young. (Not that you need another reason to drink Cuzquena - it’s so good!)

Altitude markings at Tambomachay
Finally, we visited Pukapukara. which is just up the road from Tambomachay. Also known as the “red fort,” it is believed to have served as a military checkpoint and possibly toll booth for merchants traveling the Inca Road. Small, but well-constructed, the site looked beautiful in the sun-set, when the stones turned a beautiful red.
Goofing around at Puka Pukara
The City Tour was well worth it, and my dad and I were able to visit some amazing places we otherwise would have not been able to access easily if we had adventured out on our own. We were very impressed with what we saw – we certainly thought that Sacsayhuaman was unbelieveable, but it was nothing compared to what we would witness the following day at Maras and Moray. But for that story, you’ll have to check back in a few days for my next article!

Tinsley Ellis performs at the Bamboo Room in Lake Worth. (Veda Jo Jenkins / sflimages.com)
Tinsley Ellis always delivers, doing so Friday at the Bamboo Room in Lake Worth.
Ellis plays the guitar so smoothly I found myself mesmerized into a head-bopping, finger-tapping trance as he flowed from song to song. Ellis is not big on talking, he is actually shy, but his personality comes through the guitar with the extensive fretwork, melodies and a band to match his talent. With Evil 1 on the bass and Jeff Burch on the drums this trio works together like a fine-tuned car. Ellis has been playing the guitar for over 50 years and it truly is a extension of his body and his vocals are as smooth as Southern Comfort.
The atmosphere at the Bamboo Room is a modern take on the old Copacabana. Think of the scene from Goodfellas where a table is instantly set up in front next to the band as a sign of respect for the customers. At the Bamboo Room you don’t have to be a celebrity to get a table up front but you will be treated as if you are.

Since the Bamboo Room reopened not much has changed. Don Gilman has faithfully patronized the Bamboo Room for the eight years before its closure and is so glad to have a place to hear and see live music.
“It’s a gem of a place. The line-up of people they have in here. I saw the Blind Boys of Alabama and they came out into the crowd walking (in the aisles).” Gilman told me. “it’s my life. I just love live music.”
Gilman hit on the big advantage of the Bamboo Room — where else can you see amazing guitarists, vocalists, live shows and be five feet from the performers? There truly is not a bad spot in the venue.
For most of the shows there are 70-80 premium seats sold which guarantees you a table front and center. There is still another 80-130 seats (depending on the show) available on a first-come basis, so if you show up by 7:30-8 p.m. you can still have a table. But don’t come late, even the premium seats will be opened to the public after 9 p.m. Because of this people aren’t still being sat after the band starts, one of my pet peeves at a live show in bigger venues.
The Bamboo Room has booked amazing talent through the end of the year. They include: Walter Trout, Bobby Lee Rodgers Trio, Pat Travers, Tab Benoit, Sean Chambers with Albert Castiglia, and the John Oates Band (from Daryl Hall and John Oates). If you missed the big brass of Bonerama Thursday, they will be back for New Years Eve.

Query by Zelman: Is there this sort of a point as a dependable, employed Jaguar?
I enjoy Jaguar, it’s a beautiful automobile. I heard the 1994-1997 Jaguar XJ was a lot more dependable than common, and I’ve also heard that the X-Type helps make a pretty trustworthy companion. Is that all however? How about the S-Type? How about other models of XJ, and how about the XK8? I’d enjoy to have a few encouraged design a long time and designs to go by when I start off seeking for utilized automobiles.
Any Jaguar fans?

In the sixteenth century, Spanish conquerors came to the New World in search of El Dorado, the fabled city of gold. Instead, they encountered inexplicable phenomena that have puzzled scholars and historians ever since: massive stone edifices constructed in the Earth’s most inaccessible regions … great monuments forged with impossible skill and unknown tools … intricate carvings describing the events and topography of half a world away.
In this, the remarkable and thoroughly researched fourth volume of THE EARTH CHRONICLES, author Zecharia Sitchin uncovers the long-hidden secrets of the lost civilizations of the pre-Columbian Americas and offers documentation of the giant gods who spawned the greatness of the Incans, Mayans, and Aztecs — the Anunnaki — “those who from Heaven to Earth came.”
