Destination: Down Under—The Uluru Understatement
The last in my series on why I wear my love for Australia on a tattooed sleeve. Vote for Uluru/Ayers Rock to be one of the New7Wonders of Nature, an online poll that will announce winners on 11.11.11., by visiting www.n7w.com/uluru.
#1 Because the only thing more captivating than Hugh Jackman’s dancing legs is the humble nature of the Aborigine people, the traditional caretakers of majestic Uluru/Ayers Rock.

Coming Up: During his job interview, Chef Juan Pablo meets the quirky household staff of The Mrs.—and ends up feeling like The Mayor of Munchkinland.

It looked like the set of a Halloween-themed Broadway production. Frank could sense my surprise.
Book Stop: The House in France
Coming Up: JP falls in love all over again with Gully Wells and The House in France.
But you don’t have to know Gully to fall under the book’s spell. Ultimately, her tale is of a young woman trying to make her way in the world with love, compassion and confidence. One of my favorite moments is when Gully wonders whether she has the talent to become a travel writer herself, not just an editor of famous scribes at Condé Nast Traveler. With her boss’ encouragement, she decides to write first about what she knows best—the area around The House in France. How lucky for all of us.
