  • Santuario Gauchito Gil, near Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Southermost city in the world. Legend has it that Gaucho Gil was a good-hearted outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Before his hanging, Gil is said to have pledged to become a miracle worker. Now more than 100,000 people come to visit a shrine at the spot of his death, where they leave offerings and seek miracles of their own ? from help passing a grade in school to cures for illnesses.

  • Like most food markets in India, Ujjain's central market is a maelstrom of shoppers elbowing their way around hundreds of vendors sitting on tarpaulins with piles of produce. Cows, revered by Hindus, wander with them, though salespeople and shoppers alike push them out of the way if they get too inquisitive. The Patkar family of Ujjain, India, habituated to the tumult, move with the crowd, calmly picking out what they need. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 171). The Patkar family of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India, is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks' worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.
