Being a person in a socialist country, I have to say that I am not strange to this name -- "Che" Guevara. However, for me it is only a name of a hero/an idealist with a famous handsome face.
Your wonderful film review inspires me to read more about his story/life experience and check the map of South America.
Yeah, I can imagine that kind of cinematic beauty in the film, and I even have travelled South America along their journey. From Buenos Aires--
the capital of Argentina to Chile by crossing the magnificent Andes mountain; then across the boundless Atacama Desert, at last enter the destination--a leper colony in Peru. It seems that I can keep these new geographic names in mind very easily with the help of your splendid description. The truth is I am also a nature/travelling enthusiast like you. Pitifully I have no chance to see the outside world in reality, so living vicariously through your writings becomes my biggest pleasure.
P.S. I'm looking forward to reading your new blogs about the trip on Bulgaria in secret.
