America the Beautiful

It's been a long, hot and oftentimes dusty road crossing the good old USA, but if you haven't ever done it, you've just got to.  I have lived many, many places including overseas, but there is something very special about the unique landscape of America -- bringing an actual tear to the eye with its beauty and grandeur.  So about 5,000 miles later, it's time to pay homage to a few stops along the way -- not all mind you or both you and I would be d-o-n-e!  Remember way too often all the slide shows and album viewings I've had to sit through, but still want to present a varied composite to give you the flavor.  Now living temporarily in Seattle, hoping to apply for Visa for Thailand soon, I'll be on my way sometime in November.
