...took me on a typical trip that led from ancient tombs like Carreg Samson near Fishguard, pictured, to medieval Dryslwyn Castle in Camarthenshire. The Welsh landscape has a spiritual vibe that has survived changes of faith (paganism, Christianity) and rule (Romans, Vikings, Celts). Near Nevern church is a simple cross carved into a cliff by pilgrims?one of the many alleged resting places of the Holy Grail. In its crevices, visitors have stuck flowers, candles and coins.

The protesters targeted the show at Harvard’s Peabody Museum because one of the event’s sponsors was the Consulate of Mexico...
...ready to move on with his life. Then suddenly I show up and someone from the village says 'Hey, this white woman'-he didn't know who I was-'wants to adopt your child!' And once the press got involved everyone said Oh God, now we better cross our t's and dot our i's to make sure we actually aren't jumping queues, because we're going to be scrutinized... The idea that people think I got a shortcut or an easy ride is absolutely ludicrous. I have never worked so hard for anything in my life...
