Where are we in 2010...?

January
 In Bolivia...                     Please contact us if we can bring specimens for you from Bolivia, or... if you want to join us next time...
February
 In Tucson...                    As always... The start of the new mineralogical year with Tucson, Arizona and Mexico,
                                         so we spent almost the whole month in Arizona...
March
 In Bolivia and Portugal... Spring is beautiful for Bologna and Tuscany/Italy, also for Iran by the way,
                                        and spring is great for nice tours in California and Baja California/Mexico when the cacti have flowers.
                                        But we were in Bolivia and we had a relaxing and succesful trip in Portugal. More on that later...
April
 In Japan and Italy...        April has comfortable temperatures for Morocco...
                                        and... for joining us for collecting in Japan, combined with the Osaka mineral fair...
                                       So we were in Japan, as always, and visited Sicily for collecting on the Fossa crater and the Etna!
May
 In Germany and Japan     May is good for for Morocco, Turkey, Iran and other localities where the sun is not too hot (yet...)
                                         but may is also great for tours in the German Eifel Mts., Spain or France.
                                        But we were in Japan (collecting plus the Tokyo mineral fair) and collected (underground) in the German Eifel.
June
 Open for suggestions...     The month for Bulgaria, Romania and Ste.Marie mineral fair...
                                         Or for beautiful Portugal or Tuscany/Italy (you want to join us there?)
July
Open for suggestions...      The summer months are usually perfect for Iceland, Greenland and Ellef Ringnes island or elsewhere in north-Canada!
August
Open for suggestions...      Stable weather is great for Switzerland to go 'strahlen' high up in the Alps for smoky quartz, fluorite etc
September
 Open for suggestions...     Where the after-summer months have nice temperatures for Spain, Portugal, Lavrion, Morocco etc
                                              and also for Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Alaska etc...
October
 Open for suggestions...     The end of october is for Munich and Tisnov (plus the new Terra Mineralia/Freiberg museum)
                                          If someone wants to join us in Morocco he/she should contact us a.s.a.p.
November
 Open for suggestions...     When it's cold on the northern hemisphere...,
                                         it's nice&warm in South-Africa and Namibia, and still very good for Morocco or Bolivia.
December
 Open for suggestions...     Where the Tokyo mineral fair can be nicely combined with visiting Japan...
