Travel Photos

Well, I have procrastinated all morning, adding captions to the photos we've uploaded so far, which means that I now have four hours to finish up my work for the day, which means I don't have time to write up a recap of our travels. For now, suffice it to say we had a fabulous time. The reasons we didn't post regular blog updates while we were on the road include the following: (1) For the first time in years, I did not lug my computer with me, so I didn't have easy access to a computer. (2) Many of the places we stayed didn't have Internet connections anyway. (3) Even though Mark had his laptop, the screen was only attached to the keyboard by a few wires, so we tried to give it a break for the last few weeks of his travels. and finally (4) For the first time in I don't know how long, we were on an actual vacation together, with no work. Just us. And we hadn't seen each other for 3.5 months, so we just enjoyed our time together.

So, for now, I am letting the pictures and captions tell the story. I hope this link works. If not, let me know and I'll try another way of getting the photos out to the blog world.

First ... Morocco, which we loved just as much as the first time. Such a wonderfully friendly country, with so much history and so much to see and experience.

And then Madrid and Portugal: We were only in Madrid for a couple days, and we didn't get too many great shots, even though we walked just about everywhere there was to go. Portugal was our favorite. We would happily go back there again to see more of what it has to offer:

I did keep a mini journal and will go through it when I get a chance to write about the highlights here.

I am back in Boise, while Mark jetsetted off to Costa Rica for 10 days. He'll be back on the 2nd, and I think maybe he'll stick around for the summer. But we shall see!

Oh, and check out this site: Expedition Impossible. This is what Mark was working on while in Morocco for the past 3 months. He even shows up in one of the episodes. He'll be signing autographs at the premiere party :-)
