This photo is another from a past trip that has brought back a flood of memories of my experiences.  

I guess in some places a tall white guy is a novelty, so I occasionally get asked to be in photos.  This rather funny photo shows one of those moments.  The woman on my right grabbed my arm right as the photo was taken, much to the amusement of her friends.  The location is a very unique place that I have discussed briefly before.  Even without meeting new ...
