  -> Gracias, Carol. I think a site visit (all expenses paid) would do nicely for context.
agree  Michael Powers (PhD): Henry, it really does have a nice ring to it. I am not sure that "artificio" can be translated as "interplay"; however, as Carol said, if it is to attract tourists, even though it may have lots of "leeway", it does the trick and then some. - Mike :)
