I'm a stranger in two countries. :(

A Long-Awaited Return

I haven't been able to access this blog, or any blog for that matter, for over a year and I'm finally back! It feels good.

Currently, my family and I are vacationing along the West Coast of California. We started out a bit inland at beautiful Lake Tahoe, stayed a night in Yosemite National Park, moved on to Monterey where I fell in love with the care-free seals, and have finally landed in the diverse city of San Francisco. Oh, and I almost forgot a small one hour stop at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, a place where many of my friends have worked through the years. Tomorrow's our last day of exploring before we head back to good old Kentucky, and I'm hoping to run across some fun antique or book stores while we traverse Chinatown and other parts of the city. I could comment more extensively on the views and landscapes that we've encountered along the way, but I think the following pictures will say quite enough. Enjoy. Many posts to follow!
