[Pablo Picasso] was born in Malaga, and the Museo Picasso Malaga is paying tribute to its most famous son with a show on view through June 11 called The Picassos of Antibes, which depicts mythical characters and pagan scenes painted by the artist when he lived in the south of France in 1946.

So, on balance I'd say it's very safe. Just stay on the well-worn tourist track. That's what we did and I had a fantastic time with our van of four journalists from Montreal, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and me, a native of Winnipeg from Vancouver.
At night, the journalists boarded a traditional dhow boat for a 45-minute cruise to Mombasa's Old Town. We walked the ancient streets that lead to Fort Jesus, a fabled Portuguese bastion with metre-thick coral walls built in 1593. Much of the fort's history was detailed in a sound and light show with actors in period costumes. The fort's key role in the slave trade was not mentioned.
Everywhere in Kenya, people were very happy to see us, greeting us with "Jambo" (hello, in Swahili) and "Karibu" (welcome). They'll be happy to see you, too.

Brides and grooms don't want the stress of dealing with their uncles and cousins and all the questions: 'Can I stay longer?' et cetera," [Matt Soloway] says.

We're both acoustic, and with a great emphasis on the instrumentation," says Joe Teichroeb, the newest member of the Edmonton-based bluegrass quartet Jerusalem Ridge.
Jerusalem Ridge has put out six albums in its 18-year-existence but none so far with Teichroeb -- or "Smokin' Joe" as he's known onstage -- who joined two years ago.
"It's not just a few violinists playing backup," he says. "We incorporate all the instruments.

Not exactly," I replied, "I found a good travel agent in Vietnam and let him take care of the details. I just told him how long I wanted to go for, what I wanted to do, and my budget, and left the rest to him.
I've come up with the solution -- a tour that's designed just for me. I've employed this method on several trips; most recently to Kenya and Vietnam.
My trip cost about $3,200, not including airfare to Nairobi, which included all my meals except two lunches. If you're not a diver the trip would have cost only $2,700. The closest comparable 14-day tour I could find online was approximately double that -- and in low season. Most tours were well over $5,000 when you added in the "extras" to make them truly comparable to my custom trip.

The space available for elephants both indoors and outdoors is inadequate in all of the zoos visited," Kiiru wrote. "Even when there is a large outdoor enclosure, like the Parc Safari Zoo in Quebec, the elephants have to spend many hours indoors due to the severe cold for a significant portion of the year.
Kiiru found that the two elephants there, Lucy and Samantha, suffered from stress or boredom and that Lucy showed signs of "severe arthritis and possible foot problems."
