I can give you a link to a site where you can

I can sure agree with that, and if you want
I'll look into museums that might have an
interest in photo heritage.

Oh La la! Too many carbs!!

Of places I've NOT been, Australia, New Zealand,
India, as well as the Yucatan, and South America!
I have a friend going on a cruise to Belize and 
Mayan ruins in the Yucatan...oh what a fun 
trip he's gonna have!!
