Hugh signing the visitors book at the Casa Batllo in Barcelona
Hi Hugh, I recently bought a copy of 50 wonders of the world. Just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying it. Besides the great photo’s I like your writing style. I just turned 50 years old and have lived in Hawaii for over 30 years–originally from Ohio. I have a beautiful Hula dancer wife and a bright 16 year old son. I have read all my life and always marvel at someone that can wrtie as you do. (I have been savoring the introduction–i’ll stop–look at what you are talking about then go back to the introduction). Just wanted to say Mahalo (thank-you) Jack
Hey Mr. Thomson,
My teacher just got your book “50 wonders of the world” and he reads us one wonder of the world that you wrote about everyday. I can tell that my teacher really enjoys this book because I think he already read it all and he got it for Christmas. I also really enjoy the book. I find your book so interesting and I just LOVE the pictures in the book. The pictures are just so beautiful! I find it amazing how you travel all over the world and you are able to pick out 50 of your favorite places that you have visited. I am only a sophomore in high school and I can not wait to be able to travel all over the world and see a lot of these places.
Hi Hugh. I have now finished Cochineal Red. It was wonderful and thought provoking as well as entertaining. I will now read White Rock for sure. You made me romantically wish I had known some of this when I was younger and able to be adventurous. How I would have loved to have gone there to see the wonders and perhaps even participated in investigations.
I certainly look forward to hearing about your future exploits.
Hi Hugh. My husband just got a copy of Tequila Oil, recently released here in Sydney, Australia. We loved your book, I’m from Mexico City and I really enjoyed reading it, not so many writers can explain with great humor and honesty some Mexican issues, and you do it magnificently!. Is Sydney in your agenda? We’ll be very pleased to meet you.
Just finished ‘a secret landscape’. Great book, lots of great info on the pre-Columbian cultures. Makes me want to go to Peru even more. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of your books.
Just finished reading Tequila Oil. Thanks for writing a very interesting and entertaining book. One question though: do you really honestly truly not care about what happened to the Oldsmobile? Never ever tried to find out?
I did try and write to the owner when publishing the book, but after all these year the exhaust trail had gone cold……
Hola Hugo.
Almost finished Tequila Oil. Fantastic read. Thank you so much. Dont want it to finish.
Cheers, Neil in Newcastle.
Hugh, I am reading The White Rock now, in the wake of my very recent trip to Peru. Your book is the perfect follow-up to what turned out to be a trip of a lifetime. Just want you to know how much I am enjoying WR and to thank you for the hard work it represents. Reading it feels like a conversation with an expert.
