Scuba diving: This is near Grand Piton, Saint Lucia (depth about 70 feet); Mary and John.


Travel and photography: This was part of Sete Quedas, Rio Parana, Brazil, before it was flooded by the Itaipu Dam reservoir. Other destinations


Opera: The New York Metropolitan Opera's Don Carlo is the best performance that we have seen.
