Those paying close attention may have noticed that I've been busy this week uploading pictures. There are so many to wade through! It's going to take a while to get everything up here. I'm about halfway through Guatemala at the moment, and I've re-arranged the pics main page to have the most recent groupings bubble to the top. Check back often to see what else has been posted! I'm also searching for a better way to display the pics in a slideshow-type format, to make it easier to view them sequentially. So if any of you other geekburgers out there have suggestions for plug-ins or simple freeware, do let me know.

Several of you have mentioned that you've been enjoying reading my adventures and misadventures, and I really appreciate that. I've thought about submitting one or two stories to some of the many travel writing contests out there, just to see what happens. So here's my request: which blog entries do you think are the best? They're not really meant to be self-contained stories, so whatever I submit might require a bit of editing. But I'd love to hear your feedback on which ones *you* liked best! Feel free to enter your vote as a comment here (remember, you have to register), or just drop me an email. Thanks for your continued support!
