Constructor's Note
Shameless plug time: if you’re at all interested in travel, check out my blog at puffinlesstravel.worpress.com. I’ve added several write-ups and dozens of photos from my just-completed trip to Machu Picchu, Cusco, Quito, and the Galapagos. This grid began with the entries at 20, 37, and 50 Across, which sort of go together despite the “themeless” label.
