The thing is that you linked to me (temporarily at least) and then clicked through the link, which means your URL shows up on my blog stats. It's like summoning the devil -- most blogging addicts will go have a look and investigate all incoming links to see if they're interesting. ;^)C. L.

I am also making my husband find it for me as a direct result of your post. :)<BR/><BR/>Plus I could hardly be more surprised to get any comments at all because, as you probably noticed, my blog's only days old and I haven't even told my friends about it yet because I'm still trying to figure out if it's going to work out.<BR/><BR/>As far as unoriginal Americans, I'm even more pathetic than you because I moved to the UK, despite never having had that kind of anglophile streak that leads my countrymen to dream about driving cars painted like a Union Jack when they're off to see the changing of the guards.<BR/><BR/>People are always telling me I should write about being a USian living in the UK but I don't think I have anything to add to that genre either.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15075927253436994363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1153715090875442922006-07-23T21:24:00.000-07:002006-07-23T21:24:00.000-07:00That sounds like an interesting book.You're right ...That sounds like an interesting book.<BR/><BR/>You're right about the supply/demand question in travel writing -- I'm mostly kidding about this plan. :DC.
