Old and New

I thought I would put up some pictures old and new with some commentary.

This is one of the many turtles hanging around our house. Laurie puts the kitchen scraps at the edge of the woods behind our house, and they come to munch along with deer, racoons, squirrels, snakes, and who knows what else that we don't see.

This is part of the group who attended the super bowl party some months ago at Kris Wangsadiputra's house. Great food, drink, and fun. There are at least 6 countries represented in who you can see here, and a few more not in the photo. Makes for some interesting stories. . .and perspectives.

This is Robin Black, a Scotsman by birth who now lives in Budapest (pronounced Bood-a-pesht as we quickly learned) Hungary and runs Habitat's Europe and Central Asia Office. Here we are visiting a very poor area of Costa Rica, and these kids were following us like puppy dogs. They were fascinated by our digital cameras when we would take their photos and show them the screen. Robin is teaching them how to do the "seperating thumb" trick. They were amazed and amused.
