After 2 fantastic weeks on the road with Elvira, I am finally back home again.
I need another week off to get caught up with everything.

Here are my photos, more or less in chronological order.

Me and Joe. Ready to roll.

If I ever won a vacation somewhere exotic, I'd totally take you because you document trips with pictures better than anyone else I know.

Awesome pictures, and it looked like a whole lot of fun. Elvira's very lucky to have such a photo-savy owner, and you're luck she's so photogenic!!

Posted by: LvSteveH Jul 19 2006, 12:17 PM
