...landmark, because Angkor's status as a World Heritage Site means that flights cannot pass over it. However, the Bagan balloon, pictured here, flies freely over the spires and stupas (balloonsoverbagan.com).

That didn't seem to bother anyone; President Clinton even asked where he could get a jacket like mine. I own no white warm-up outfits, cozy or otherwise. I always dress nice...
TAPAS: A TASTE OF SPAIN IN AMERICA/ JOSE ANDRES At his seven Washington restaurants, chef Andrés is famed for serving fantastical avant-garde cuisine. But in his first book he focuses on the small plates of his native Spain.
