South America
It might be the ultimate destination for backpackers. South America: a continent of adventure, of indigenous and colonial cultures, of great food, of football, of wine, of coffee, of beaches, of jungles, of music, dance and passion.
And all of this comes to you at a bargain basement price, often with barely any other tourists to share it with.
There's something about South America that makes it very easy to like. Maybe it's the familiarity of Latin culture mixed with each area's individual history. Maybe it's the local people. Maybe it's the cheap booze and the parties.
Whatever it is, South America should be top of any backpacker's bucket list.
But how to approach this huge continent? It can be a little intimidating for first-time visitors, especially given the reputation for petty crime, gun crime and even kidnappings in some parts.
These are mostly nothing to worry about - a bit of common sense will see you safely through most countries in South America.
Just don't wear expensive jewellery when you're there. Don't call attention to yourself with flashy clothes. Don't stick a wallet full of cash in your back pocket. Don't walk down dark alleys at night.
That's not to say bad things don't happen in South America, and you could be unlucky, but those simple steps will at least prevent you from standing out in the tourist crowd.
But anyway, on to the good stuff. It's your first time in South America: where do you go? How long do you go for?
Most people think of South America as something you'd only do in a big, sabbatical-from-work style of trip, although I'm not sure why. You'd go to California for two weeks - why not, say Argentina?
Don't attempt to conquer the whole continent, a la the Spanish. Small parts of South America can easily be explored in shorter journeys - maybe choose one country, or even just part of one country, and really get under its skin.
Choose a big, bucket-list attraction and then build yourself an itinerary around that.
South America used to be a prohibitively expensive place to fly over to, but with fares steadily decreasing lately, it makes shorter trips more accessible to budget travellers.
To get around once you're over there, buses are your friend, particularly if you have time on your hands. While internal air travel is expensive and trains are rare, buses are cheap, often very comfortable and reliable, and will have you rubbing shoulders with the local population. Just take care at the bus stations at night.
Now, where to go. Interested in cities? Buenos Aires is a must. It's one of the best cities in the world. Lima, too, is vastly underrated, with great food and arts scenes. Medellin, in Colombia, is bursting with life. Rio is... well, it's Rio. You have to go.
What about ancient monuments and ruins? Obviously you'll want to check out Machu Picchu. And it's worth it. But my advice is to forgo the famous Inca Trail in favour of one of the other hikes around Cusco, in particular the Salkantay Trail, which will still bring you to the foot of those famous ruins, only via a much quieter and equally spectacular route.
Then there are the natural wonders - the salt flats at Uyuni in Bolivia, the Amazon jungle, the glaciers of Patagonia, the vastness of the Atacama Desert, the beauty of a Brazilian beach, the wonder of the Galapagos Islands.
There are so many varying experiences you could have in South America, so many options for travel, but these are some of the must-dos: go to a football game, preferably at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires; walk through the old town of Cartagena; go out all night dancing - anywhere; climb a mountain; eat as much as you can, particularly in Lima, and BA, and Sao Paulo; and drink a pisco sour. In fact drink a lot of pisco sours.
Indulge in the South American highlights. Do the clichés. But don't forget to investigate the hidden gems, places like the Lakes District of Chile, the ski town of Bariloche, Arequipa in Peru, Quito in Ecuador, and Paraty in Brazil.
Try to learn some Spanish before you arrive - it'll make a world of difference. You'll get by with English, but you won't be able to have many conversations.
Do a tour if you're nervous about travelling solo. The La Paz to Lima route, or Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro, are perfect itineraries for first-time visitors looking to get a taste of the continent. There are plenty of companies to choose from: you can go from backpacker campers to five-star luxury. Get Googling.
Buy good travel insurance. Things go wrong in South America - stuff gets stolen, travel gets delayed, people fall off bikes, they get drunk and be silly. Prepare for the odd thing to go awry and you'll be fine.
My best tip for South America, however, is to take it slow. Don't rush around trying to fit everything in. This is a continent that's best explored in the slow lane, enjoying the little things, letting places open themselves up to you.
You can afford the good life here. You can eat in top restaurants, you can drink wine at nice bars, spend mornings drinking coffee at little cafes. You can also hike amazing mountains or swim in the clearest seas. Give yourself time to appreciate it.
Because this really is the ultimate destination.
What are your tips for first-time travellers to South America? Do you think South America tops the backpacker's bucket list?

A pizza believed to be the hottest in the world is being cooked up in a Saltdean restaurant.
The scorching Saltdean Sizzler is too hot for many pizza lovers to handle – with just nine of the 1,200 heat-lovers who have tried the food challenge managing to complete it.
Paul Brayshaw, who runs Paul's Pizza in Lustrells Vale,was inspired by his love of hot food and TV programme Man vs Food to put the concoction on the menu.
He said tests by Warwick University have found the pizza to rate 3.2million on the Scovell scale – three times hotter than the world's strongest chilli or police pepper spray.
Mr Brayshaw believes it to be the hottest pizza in the world.
The dish is made of a homemade dough base, regular Italian tomato and herb sauce and fresh mozzarella, before being topped with a secret spicy sauce, hot sauce from Brighton-based Chilli Pepper Pete and a ghost pepper, one of the world's hottest chillis.
Mr Brayshaw said: "At first the pizza is a nice red tomato colour like any other pizza.
"But adding the sauce turns it an evil black/red.
"I wanted to open a pizza place myself and being a lover of spicy food I thought I would include a challenge on the menu."
Lips on fire
Christopher Barnard, 28, who lives in Brighton tried the pizza – but only managed to swallow one measly mouthful.
He said: "The pain started before I had even bitten into it. As soon as it touched my lips they were on fire.
"There was no pleasure at all, just pain. It was unbearable, definitely more of a challenge than a treat.
"When I was chewing it I was quite scared about swallowing because I knew it was going to be worse for my insides.
Pain spread
"The pain even spread down my throat, which is really unusual for spicy food.
"After about 20 minutes the pain in my mouth subsided, but the stomach ache started. It was relentless.
"I would never do it again, I wouldn't wish it on anyone."
Mr Brayshaw added: "The after effects are worse than eating the pizza. It's a horrible thing."

Feds not supplying turkey for schools' Thanksgiving this year due to shortages
WASHINGTON -- Schools that get turkey from the Agriculture Department are having to turn elsewhere this year for Thanksgiving lunches for students. There's not enough for the lunch program that feeds 29 million kids.
The problem is not a shortage of birds. They're just too skinny. An unusually hot summer resulted in smaller turkeys. That means supplies are tight, which means prices are a bit higher.
"Even though we've put out word we want to buy turkey, they're not selling it to USDA," said Billy Cox, spokesman for the Agricultural Marketing Service.
Supermarkets generally get first dibs on turkey and other commodities. When there is a surplus or prices are low enough, the Agriculture Department buys some and passes it along to government-subsidized food programs, like school lunches.
Staying with the menu
While the department is not providing turkey, schools aren't necessarily going without.
"We didn't change the menu," said Shirley Cox, food and nutrition director for Texarkana, Ark., public schools. "We just went ahead and bought turkey for 3,500 to 4,000 meals."
When Texarkana schools serve the Thanksgiving meal this Friday, lunch trays will have turkey, Southern-style cornmeal dressing with giblet gravy, green peas, candied sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce -- and small cups of holiday ice cream.
The Agriculture Department's commodity program gives food to schools; the amount is based on how many free and reduced-price lunches a school serves.
The National Turkey Federation said there is plenty of turkey available for the nation's Thanksgiving.
Tight markets
"We do hope everybody will have the opportunity to have turkey at the table," said Sherrie Rosenblatt, spokeswoman for the federation. "Even with markets tight this year, I'm sure there are other ways in which food banks or feeding programs are finding ways to provide."
While prices for turkey producers are the highest in years, Rosenblatt said grocery shoppers probably won't see it at the store.
"We're still seeing a lot of specials running throughout the country, where supermarkets are using whole turkeys as a way to get you into the store to buy the rest of your Thanksgiving dinner," she said.
Christmas should be better. Market conditions are easing, and the Agriculture Department is already buying turkey for delivery in December, said Susan Acker, spokeswoman for the Food and Nutrition Service, which runs the school lunch program.
The National School Lunch Program works like this:
* To qualify for free school lunches, a family's income must be at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty level -- about $21,580 for a family of three.
* Reduced price lunches, costing up to 40 cents a meal, are available for children in families making 185 percent of the poverty level, about $30,710 for a family of three.

This trade agreement threatens our democracy
Opinion: Letters To The Editor
I am writing to let you know about a monstrous new "trade agreement" bill and a plan to have it voted on by Congress with little awareness by the public and no ability to modify it in Congress.
The "trade agreement" is called the TransPacific Partnership (TPP). It is being negotiated almost completely in secret because multinational corporations, the president, and the U.S. trade representative want it done that way. Rep. Keith Ellison calls it "the largest corporate power grab you have not heard of."
TPP could undermine our democracy and turn over our sovereignty to multinational big business. It is about much more than trade. It could:
1) off-shore more millions of American jobs;
2) free the banksters from oversight;
3) ban Buy American policies needed to create green jobs and rebuild our economy;
4) decrease access to medicine worldwide;

Soon Congress will be voting on whether to approve "fast track" legislation which would allow TPP to be rushed through Congress without public scrutiny. Once introduced, only limited discussion would be allowed in Congress. Then it would have to be voted on. It could only be voted up or down — no amendments would be allowed. For starters, please contact your congressman and senators and tell them to vote no on "fast track" and oppose TPP.

but I love(d) to eat

I've always been into food. I love to eat a nice meal, and I enjoy cooking. Add both to the ever-growing list of things I no longer enjoy much at all.
As time goes on, I'm finding that most foods make me incredibly nauseated, even when I'm otherwise feeling pretty okay. This all started when I went on anti-seizure medications for migraine prevention. I tolerated the Depakote pretty well, but it didn't do anything for the migraines. Then I went on Topamax. Like so many people do, I had horrible side effects. I lost about 40 pounds while I was on Topamax because I stopped eating almost completely. I couldn't stand how it felt to try to eat anything, so I didn't. Once it became crystal clear that Topamax wasn't having any kind of impact on my migraines, I stopped taking it and gave both Neurontin and Zonegran a chance. And even though the nausea got a bit better after the Topamax, it has remained at a high enough level that I have continued to lose weight and struggle with nausea on a day to day basis.
Most of my favorite foods still sound good in theory, but I often find the texture of ordinary foods like fruit or cheese completely disgusting and hard to get down. If I do eat, I usually end up with a stomachache within the hour. I'm relying heavily on Phenergan pills and Tums these days. They both help, and I'm certainly not complaining about losing weight because I have it to lose. I just wish I knew what is going on with my body. C thinks it is simply a natural result of having been sick for so long. I hope he's right.

The following items were taken from the Norridge Police Department reports. An arrest does not constitute a finding of guilt.
•Mahama Moussahi, 24, of the 8700 block of West Summerdale Avenue, Chicago, was charged April 15 with retail theft at Target at Harlem Irving Plaza. Police said Moussahi selected 39 items from various store departments, allegedly hid some of them in plastic bags she had in her purse, placed the bags into her shopping cart, while leaving some of the left the larger items unconcealed, and then left the store without paying for the merchandise. The merchandise is valued at $463.74, police said. Moussahi is next due in court May 19.
•Jonah Garcia, 21, of the 2700 block of North Mulligan Avenue, Chicago, was charged April 16 with a local ordinance violation for theft at Kmart, 4201 North Harlem Ave. Police said Garcia allegedly left the store without paying for store merchandise. The merchandise is valued at $84.28, police said. Garcia is next due in village hall court May 4.
Criminal damage to property
•Mayco Mata, 36, of the 5000 block of West Waveland Avenue, Chicago, was charged April 7 with criminal damage to property at the Norridge Police Department, 4020 North Olcott Ave., in connection with an alleged road rage incident on April 2.

Mata is next due in court May 10.
Warrant arrests
•Antonette Bonfiglio, 52, of the 7800 block of West Lawrence Avenue, Norridge, was arrested April 16 on a warrant from DuPage County for failure to appear after she was released from Presence Resurrection Medical Center, 7435 W.

Paris Twilightby Russ Rymer
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
A moody, sumptuous debut novel set in 1990s ParisMatilde Anselm, professor of cardiac anesthesiology, arrives in Paris from New York to be part of a surgery team in the winter of 1990, as manifestations against the First Gulf War are raging in the streets. Even as her concerns mount over the shadowy protocols surrounding the planned heart transplant, and even as she falls in love with the Arab diplomat in charge of those protocols, a surprise inheritance—a mysterious Paris apartment and a trove of love letters from the Spanish Civil War, bequeathed to her by a stranger—sweep her through a hidden Paris and into the labyrinth of her own buried past.
As the diplomat and the apartment reluctantly reveal their secrets, the tragedies they unearth open a further mystery, the enigma that has haunted Matilde's life. In the end she is left devastated, liberated, and, for the very first time, herself.
Paris Twilight grapples with the meaning of love, the sin of suicide, and the mystery of family in a masterful fiction debut, a dizzying tale of personal transformation.
Editorial Reviews
It's 1990, and demonstrations against the First Gulf War are rocking Paris. Cardiac anesthesiologist Matilde Anselm has been recruited by an enigmatic and elegant Arab diplomat to join an elite surgical team in the French capital for the purpose of performing a private heart transplant for an anonymous patient. While there, Matilde is also inexplicably contacted by an attorney who informs her that she has been named the executor of an elderly gentleman's estate, consisting solely of his small Parisian apartment. No sooner does she set herself up in this space than mysterious love letters addressed to the deceased man begin to arrive regularly. Compelled to find these letters' source, Matilde launches a quest that leads her to her unknown parentage and the cruelties of the Spanish civil war.
Verdict Sure to appeal to lovers of mysteries and European modern history, this thrillingly intelligent debut novel by the author of the NBCC finalist Genie: A Scientific Tragedy and American Beach, set among the wonders of Paris and against a backdrop of war, provides a haunting, sensitive account of a middle-aged woman's unearthing of her past and the ambiguities of her own heart.

Read an Excerpt
I'M NOT SURE HOW to explain this, why I am writing to you, you of all people, and writing to you now, except for the simple circumstance that the rain has chased me into this place and does not appear to want to let me go, and here in my confinement all I can find in my purse to occupy me are a pen, a nail file, a piece of paper: prisoner's tools. I'm ignoring the file. Daniel, I need a witness, and there's no one else to turn to. Can you imagine how many witnesses we have lost by now, you and I, how little sense it all makes, those ancient awful dramas, with no one around to remember how splendid they were? Oh, how I have hated you! And now you are back on my mind because of the Brahms. And before that, I suppose, the train ride in from the airport. It was snowing. The winter this year was précoce, as they call it here, and that afternoon was too. With the flurries and the overcast, the day seemed hours ahead of itself, and reminded me of that other train ride, so long ago, when we had decided to go back into New York despite the blizzard, the fields and the Connecticut estuaries slipping by us, the snowflakes curling bright against the windows, your head in my lap. I see now, sitting in this dreary-day café, how unmoored I was becoming even so early on, just off the plane, with the onrush of dark and the RER hurtling me toward city where I have none of the things I know to grab on to to keep my mind from wandering. So, of course, the Brahms and the train. And also, I confess, I'm emboldened by the knowledge that whatever I set down here you will never read, that I will never know your thoughts. Such comfort! You see, Daniel, that after all, you have left me safe at last. It was a Thursday, that afternoon when I got in. I deserted the train at Gare du Nord, and, having pushed out with the crowd onto rue de Dunkerque, I was tempted to try to walk it, even with the weather, but I had the bags, and I didn't want to arrive all soggy and sad and middle-aged in some terrible cold, grand lobby. They were putting me up at the Clairière. Anyway, my day was hardly over; they'd scheduled me for an evening meeting, which I dreaded, if only because Willem would be there, and I was nervous about seeing Willem. So I caught a cab, shards of war news on the radio as we swerved our way through town. In the deserts of Arabia, Western armies were gathering to drive Iraqi legions from Kuwait. From the news accounts emitted from the dashboard, the first pitched skirmishes were being fought right here.
L'Hôtel la Clairière de l'Armistice, when we reached it, was as monstrous as I'd imagined it would be, one of those push-pull places full of servile staff and imposing décor, all this uncomfortable comfort, walnut and crystal and that grotesque white furniture trimmed in gilt that always reminds me of dental work, or naval uniforms. My room wasn't ready, of course. I dumped my bags on the concierge, and the martinet at the check-in desk (his humility had been honed to a murderous edge) scrutinized my passport and refused my credit card — "Déjà reglé," he sniffed. Already settled. It was almost as an afterthought (though with a world of forethought devoted to his gesture) that he handed me the message, just as a voice behind me boomed, "Mademoiselle." I stuffed the envelope into my purse with the luggage receipt.
The accent was clearly Anglo, and I responded with all the mademoisellian coquettishness my fifty years could muster. "Why, sir," I said, "you flatter me." I meant it as a quip, but really I was bracing myself. It's a reflex. Whatever was approaching, I wanted a stance to handle it. Of course, at the same time, I knew exactly who to expect, whose familiar Anglo accent I was hearing, and I turned and we embraced. My first thought was My, he's prospered! do you remember what a skinny guy Willem used to be? — and then immediately I was reminded of my own prosperity and grew self-conscious. After a few seconds of squeezing the life out of me, he held me out at arm's length with locked elbows and a hand on each shoulder — why do men of a certain stature think women enjoy being grasped like a lectern? — and gave me the expression: you know, this tight-lipped side glance full of rue and fondness that's supposed to add up to the gaze of enduring love. "My God, you haven't changed a bit," he said, intoning, and I shot him my expression of enduring dismissal, and he said that, well, we could head out whenever I was ready.
I checked myself over in my mind — was my travel attire really presentable? My travel face? — and I heard myself babbling that he really hadn't needed to pick me up at the hotel, I could easily have caught a cab, that we could leave right away, why not, since I couldn't check in yet. We stepped out under the porte-cochère and he helped me into the back of a long, dark Mercedes that slid up to the curb and gave the driver a destination. I thought: His first honest sentence. On the way down the boulevard, he ventured another, more quietly. "Thank you for doing this, Matilde."
"You're very welcome," I said, and, after a while, "I don't call a paid month in Paris much of a sacrifice."
"It's an exorbitant amount of time," he said. "Maybe five weeks, we still don't know."
"Well, I told you when you called, you're not exactly dragging me away from anything."
He looked at me slightly mystified, as though I had answered a question about something else. I had thought the ride would be a short one; that's generally how things work in such arrangements, proximity being at a premium. But we headed down the boulevard to the highway and out of the city center into the neighborhoods of some inner banlieue. The traffic, at first, was more clotted even than I remembered it, even for late on a weekday afternoon. Willem leaned over the seatback to inquire. "Les manifestations," the chauffeur answered — he was an Algerian, Willem would later inform me, whose name was Drôlet — the protests "contre la guerre."
The snow flurries had abated, and as soon as we escaped the city, the roads cleared of other cars. A small village flashed by, and another and smaller one, and then we were on a winding country avenue passing the walls of enclosed estates, until finally the Mercedes turned up a pea-gravel driveway that led through the lawns of a large old chateau. Former chateau. It was a hospital now. There were no indicators of such, no glaring emergency bay, no Quiet signs lining the road or speed bumps on the drive, and no name on the art-nouveau beveled-glass door, but it was irrefutably a hospital. With a little practice, you can smell them a mile away.
There was a small lobby inside the beveled glass, but no public waiting room and no records window staffed by admitting nurses, only a stocky, efficient, daunting woman in a silk dress and sensible heels sitting behind a table who half stood when the door opened and then relaxed when she saw Willem and nodded us wordlessly toward some double doors. The doors gave a click when she reached beneath the table, and we went through into a hallway.
Inside, things were brighter and more antiseptic, but hardly less sumptuous. Willem felt my gaze on his cheek, or sensed my raised eyebrow, and said — did I imagine he was chuckling a little? — "Come along, you'll see," and we caught an elevator up to the top floor, the floor you needed to use a key for the elevator to reach, which Willem produced from his key ring, and then he ushered me down another hallway into a small, book-lined conference study where a dozen or so men were milling about, eating little sandwiches and sipping coffee. As we entered, a quiet fell, and all of them simultaneously moved to put down their plates.
"Hello, gentlemen," Willem said as we bustled in, and he steered me past the crowd to a man standing out of the light and modestly apart, and introduced us.
"Professor Anselm," the man said to me, softly. "I'm honored."
"Mr. Sahran," I said back, hoping I'd caught the pronunciation right. He was a trim man in a quiet suit, shorter than me and maybe younger, late forties or so, aristocratic in his bearing and with an extraordinary limpid gentleness in his gaze, though it was the sort of gentleness you would never want to cross. I took him to be a consul or envoy — he was one of those men tightly coiled within their composure whom you rarely run into anymore outside the foreign service, but what on earth (I reminded myself) did I know about the foreign service? I couldn't help feeling that if he was honored, I was obscurely in peril.
"We are very grateful that you are able to take this on," he said, and his eyes probed mine for an exploratory second. "I trust you had a nice trip? Your accommodations are acceptable?" he asked, and when I answered the rhetorical pleasantry with a rhetorical nod, he answered my answer with a little smile. "Good," he said, and it was understood that some contract had been efficiently negotiated and signed.
"Well, Dr. Madsen, I leave all this to you." Sahran shook Willem's hand, and then mine again, with a slight, quick bow of the head, and left the room, and two other men in cheaper suits left with him. The subsequent hour was a ritual, more or less standard, of putting together a surgical team — the wrinkle being that this team was so very disparate and each of us so very new to the others, except for a couple of the Pakistanis, I guess, who knew each other, and Willem and myself, of course. And of course there were the other anomalies, which were glaring, but I thought I would hold off asking about those until the ride home, when I would have Willem to myself again. Papers were handed out, and introductions were made, names and degrees, but without, I noticed, current affiliations. Willem asked some pathology and peri-care questions and addressed a few hematology concerns to the perfusionist, the man who would run the heart-lung bypass machine, and turned to me when we got to my role in things. Matilde Anselm, I told the group, and trotted out the insta-CV. No one had warned me to edit my history, so I let them have it, or the bones of it, at least, skipping over the unpleasant stuff, the Singleton business, starting with Bryn Mawr undergrad and continuing through post-D at Sloan-Kettering "with post–Doctor Madsen" (no smiles from the group), all the way to head of cardiothoracic anesthesiology at St. Anne's in New York until a few years ago. Teaching since (I didn't say since the unpleasant Singleton stuff). Currently on sabbatical.
Willem thanked me and cued up a couple final members and then gave us what amounted to marching orders. "As you see, you are among an exceptional group of professionals," he said, "but what we're here to do is nothing more than a routine procedure, albeit in exemplary fashion. We have ten days minimum before the operation, and probably several weeks. But you should be as entirely prepared as if it were happening tomorrow. Whatever you need to do to familiarize yourself with this facility, do it immediately. Dr. Mahlev here is your coordinator. He has schedules for each of you to come in to checklist your equipment and go through your protocols. Whatever you need, ask him. Be thorough. Remember, there is no backup; it's all on you. This is the last time we will see one another ensemble until we meet over the patient. You've each been given a telephone number. You must call that number twice a day, wherever you are, so that you'll know when you're needed —"
"No beepers?" I interrupted. "We're not to be on call?"
"Not yet," Willem said. "Just be sure to phone. Every morning early, every evening late, without fail. Any other questions, direct them to Dr. Mahlev."
"But Willem . . ."
"Thank you," Willem said to the group, and then to me, "Drôlet will take you back to the hotel."
So I didn't get to clarify anything with dear Willem on the ride home after all, and out of weariness, I didn't talk with Drôlet either, though I suspected somehow, as I watched his silhouette against the passing lights, that my driver knew a lot more than I did about what I had gotten myself into.La Clairière was aglitter when we got there, and the pageant of early diners traipsing through the lobby in evening dress and formalwear confirmed my determination to hole up humble and eat in. Some poor lackey tricked out like an organ grinder's monkey in crimson tunic and braided pillbox hat and dragging a gilded luggage cart led me to my room. It was enormous. At any rate, I couldn't see a bed from the door when it opened, and that was always enormous enough for me. Then behind the first room came another, and then another, a whole grand suite, which I already felt at sea in long before I bumped into a bedroom.
As I fished in my purse for some change to tip the bellhop, my hand brushed against a soft, sharp-cornered object that my tactile memory recalled from only the briefest acquaintance. How long it seemed since the concierge had handed me the envelope! It gave me a jolt. I dug up some coins, but a voice in my head whispered, Suite!, and even as another voice grumbled, What does the room size have to do with the tip?, I dropped the coins and pulled out a twenty-franc note instead and pushed it into the waiting white glove, which folded it into instant invisibility with the practiced skill of an illusionist. We walked the long walk back to the door, and I locked it behind the departing train of minion and cart. Then, before doing what I knew I must do next, I put down my purse on the dining table and found the phone and ordered up a lovely-sounding filet de poisson grillé, not really because it would be so lovely, along with its lovely tarte aux légumes, but because it was the first thing on the menu. Along with the cheapest glass of whatever wine monsieur might recommend. Then I went into the kitchen and boiled some water and returned with a monogrammed napkin and some green tea steeping in a Spode cup.
What was I thinking while I did this? I wasn't very hungry, nor the least bit thirsty. As I look back, I imagine that I was setting the scene, commencing an order of service, adorning the altar with chalice and cloth, and I wonder: What did I sense? A portent? Of a sacrifice? Or was I merely heeding the conviction that any messenger who has waited so patiently deserves to be met with ceremony? I settled myself in a dining chair and settled my glasses on my nose and set out my napkin and my saucer and my cup and took a little breath of resolve or resignation, I'm not sure which, before reaching back into the purse.
The envelope was of expensive linen, one of those subtle sizes easy to the hand that you never find in American stationery, and to the touch as crisp and lush as taffeta, embossed with a company name that ended et Associés. So: A law firm? The flap was sealed with a dime-sized daub of bright red wax. Inside was a single sheet, folded once, its message in longhand, the same cursive hand that had penned my name and the words par courrier on the envelope's face and novembre 1990 at the top of the page.
Ma très distinguée Madame, the note began. I wish to alert you to certain unhappy recent events, and to confer with you about subsequent matters which you may find of importance. Without further elaboration, it requested me to contact, "with due regard for urgency," a Monsieur E. Delecroix Rouchard, provided a telephone number and an address on rue Delembert in the Seventeenth Arrondissement, and closed with Avec mes plus respecteux hommages, je vous prie, Madame, d'agréer l'expression de ma très haute considération, one of those ornate cordialities (translation: "I'm in no rush, are you?") that only the French, among the nations, remain silly enough to come up with and pompous enough to pull off. I called the number, but the phone kept ringing with that dreadful flat buzz that is the most awful sound in the daily life of any place on earth, and no one picked up, not even to yell Ne quittez pas! and put me on hold.
I wasn't surprised. An office where an attorney addressed his own envelopes (Did he melt the wax too? I wondered. Was he himself the courier?) was not likely to be one where staff would still be working at this hour. So I finished my tea and dabbled at my dinner, and took a bath, and retired with a book whose secrets were guarded by my exhaustion, for almost immediately it lay open beside me on the duvet, and I woke after a while to turn off the light, and succumbed back into a dream that must have lasted most of the rest of the night, of swirling snow past a speeding train, a sensation of being unable to understand anything close by, of everything immediate flying past in a frenzy too fleet for me to grasp, while the trees and houses guarding the horizon stayed sharp and clear and precise to the eye, so that there were in the world only two things I was certain of: the feel of your hair beneath my palm, and the horizon, as patient and gradual and slow to pass as a thing remembered, even as it melted into distance and stillness and white.

This book is one of those that grabs you and holds on to you until the very end. I am an avid fiction reader, and what I most enjoy in a good work of fiction is something that gives that rare experience of feeling that you are actually inside the world of the book. Paris Twilight does that, and more. At one point, I was so immersed in the book that when I had to put it down to head out to run some errands, I grabbed an umbrella on my way out the door. It was only once I was downstairs on the sidewalk that I realized it was completely beautiful weather outside--it was in Paris Twilight where rain was falling! But it's more than just the mood and the immersion that captivated me. The thing about this book is that it grabs you and delights you on every level: * The plot is intricately woven such that its complications do not distract from the pull of the story, but rather enhance it. And the mysteries are unfolded in such a way that I didn't feel it was about guessing or "figuring out" what was happening, but more about experiencing it. * The characters are distinct, memorable, and compelling, without become caricatures. Each has his or her own voice in the story, and Matilde as the narrator and central character, reveals them to the reader as she herself discovers who they are. * The settings are so richly described, that I felt I was there. Details about mood, sights, smells, sounds, and weather (see above!) create a sense of immersion into this novel's universe. * The science is credible and engaging. The writing doesn't shy away from its complexity, tying it closely to the characters' own complexity so that regardless of your own level of understanding, its presence makes sense. * And then, my personal favorite--the sentences. Russ Rymer's sentences are beautiful works of art. Over and over again, I found myself relishing their structure, and their pure musicality. There are many, many paragraphs where the rhythm of the writing alone gave me goosebumps. I would say more about the plot, but I don't want to give anything away. What I can say is that you will not regret reading this book.

My partner and I recently travelled to Melbourne for the weekend with our one and a half year old son. We chose Milano because the facilities. Travelling with a young child can be tough in many hotels but we found Milano to be clean (I have read others reviews and in my experience completely disagree) and great for young families. The room was quite large and modern a big flat screen TV and comfortable beds.
The location was great just a short walk to the Queen Victoria Market (great for food and shopping!!!) and just a short walk to Melbournes cool laneways and the Yarra River.
Will definitely be staying there on my next business trip too.
