The landscape, people and buildings are all beautiful, the culture fascinating, and just about everybody I encountered was wonderfully friendly. I spent 10 days here in December 2002, and didn't even have time to head to the highlands, but I was lucky enough to meet some interesting people and get a bit closer to locals than I expected with such a short time. </p> </th> <td class="a42"> </td> <td class="a41"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="a41"> </td> <td class="a42"> </td> <td class="content"> <p> All of these images are copyright &copy; 2003 Eldan Goldenberg, and are provided free for non-profit use only.
