Cute-Meet

Neal was leaning through the slats of a bridge to look at the water & I suspended the camera to get this shot. It was taken upside down & that's the way it'll stay.


There were turtles to observe.

Not that the turtles impressed the little lady much.

Meeting up with friends I haven't seen in a long time makes traveling better. The last time I'd seen my friend Ben nine years ago. A few things have changed in that time. My kid count had gone from one to four; I'd moved from Florida to New Jersey to England; he'd progressed from an undergrad to completing a PhD; he'd gone from single guy to husband-and-father; he'd moved from Missouri to Minnesota to Iowa.

But with all those changes, he is still Ben. Just with a clever & cool wife. And a grown up job. And a cute son.

A cute son that Gracie really liked being with.
