Cornwall for Americans

Just watched this interesting doco on Cornwall from an American perspective/promotion.

A few errors, but nothing to quibble about, (his pronunciation of "Cornwall" is rather off.)

Nicely shot.

(Plan B members are offered free lodging in the West Penwith area reviewed here, you only have to ask.)

Visited Penzance back in 1966.

I was in Cornwall in 1978, and we did not get to Tintangel, so it's definitely on my list for a return visit if I ever get back to England.

Rick Steves does a nice job with his programs. He has a regular 30 minute travel show on PBS every week. He also does longer format programs, and publishers travel guides. I usually appreciate his take, and I like how he always tries to include some outdoor/natural attraction into to the mix. And yes, the camera work is always quite good.

I've been meaning to research how we ended up getting into this work, because I would really like to have his a job someday. Actually I'd really like to have it today! 8-)

Beyond creating a pretty good travel show, Steves' travel guides are good investments -- I've had success using his travel guides as a main resource for trips, including a trip to England/Scotland (but no Cornwall!).

That's good to know LR, because on the strength of the show, I gave my BIL a Rick Steves Italy guide for a trip they are planning next year.

You must stay at ours if you get back!
