4th CNN Travel Photo of the Day!

Just got my 4th CNN Travel Photo of the Day! Made this image atop a mountain at this very mystic place in Mexico called Tepoztlan. :-)

Lonely Planet giving away free iPhone guides in honor of Eyjafjallajökull messing with Europe

Did Eyjafjallajökull mess your week up? The answer is probably "no" if you're asking whoEyjafjallajökull is.
