But that's just a guess. <br />2) I also noticed that there was no traveling crane. It's a mystery.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229963702961511828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-70859623039865820032011-01-02T14:02:26.806-05:002011-01-02T14:02:26.806-05:00In The Port - Arica photo, I don't see any tra...In The Port - Arica photo, I don't see any traveling crane over the container stacking area.

Some of each, I'd guess, but which predominates?<br /><br />Appears you jump from country to country about as easily as we do, or at least did, from USA to Canada.<br /><br />Big celebrations to roll the year? Lots of fireworks? We returned from NJ with a stop to visit cycling buds in DC and Ikea to buy drawer pulls, 13 hours for an 8.5 hour circuit. We didn't see the acorn drop!Crash Eddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347819537922992042noreply@blogger.com
