A really good memory

I suggest you click on this photo.  It is best appreciated large.  Maybe I should have cropped it tighter... oh well. Last summer, our family got to go on a vacation to Maine.  It was an awesome, awesome time!  One of the highlights for me was climbing Mt. Cadillac in Acadia National Park. 

Before we left, Andrew and I had planned something for the two of us to do.  We brought our gis (karate garb), and my camera, wanting to take pictures karate pictures somewhere in Acadia.  When we climbed Mt. Cadillac the day before, the choice of locations seemed obvious.  So we returned the next day and suffered through hurricane force winds (haha, not quite) and this is what resulted. 

Before this was home

I took this picture June 2006, my very first trip to Brazil.  

February 2007, while on the river with Danny's team.

April 2007. After living with the Kubacki's for 3 months, my friends took me to this waterfall the day before I left for the States.  

This picture was sent to me within a month of me returning to the States.  These are some of the friends I had made, and this picture meant a lot to me.  

Back when I wasn't sure if I'd ever get to come back....
