General Information on South America

Along the Inca Road: A Woman's Journey Into An Ancient Empire by Karin Muller. After years of contemplating the thin red line of the Inca Road on her map of the world, Muller takes off with a grant from the National Geographic Society (which also supplied a cameraman) for a six-month jaunt through Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Chile. Along the way, she searches for remnants of the ancient stone-paved road and jumps headfirst into whatever adventure she can find.

Puerta del Sol is a bi-monthly Spanish audio magazine published in conjunction with Champs-Elysees for the intermediate to advanced speaker of Spanish. It is designed to take their speaking and listening comprehension to the next level. Every issue takes the form of an hour long radio broadcast featuring interviews with Spanish celebrities as well as up to date news from the worlds of art, business, literature, politics etc. Previous guests on the programs include Felipe Gonzalas, Carlos Fuentes, Julio Iglesias and Salvador Dali. Each magazine comes with a complete transcript and a comprehensive glossary together with optional linguistic exercises. Available on both CD and cassette. I know from experience that it is always easier and more enjoyable to travel in a foreign country when you can speak some of the language. Check out Puerta del Sol and see what you think. Jim
