Around the World Part One

I take a lot of pictures, especially when traveling. Landscapes and buildings and details and people and even my food. I can't really tell how good they are until I download them, so I just take a lot. So, it is tough to start posting these because I know about half way through, everyone's eyes are going to glaze over, no matter how much you care about me and the trip. I am only going to post my favorites, and will break it up to a couple of days at a time. That will make it easier on all of us. My brain is still not quite all here, although I am about over the jet lag.

Our next day was at a different school, and was a bigger conference. Yes, it ended up being a kind of educational conference. I even got a certificate at the end. This was a beautiful location, which helped offset the stress of presenting my seminar three times here. Speaking through a translator helped immensely, but it was still pretty grueling, especially with the heat on the first day. After the first session, I walked out the door, saw the mountains and could breathe again.This is not the greatest picture of the view here, but you get the idea.
