You are so awesome. And the Haiti trip fills me with pride and good feelings. Glad you went!

[tracy]

I am also glad I went! So many great moments, I can't wait to go back.

Wow, Ireland. That's an impressive shot. I have a coworker that just came back from Switzerland, and now I hate him more than ever. :P I'm trying to figure out where I want to take mom next year. Where are you off to next?

I'm gonna go to Munich for Oktoberfest, but that's not for another month and a half. Meanwhile, just traveling a bit around Portugal. What does your mom like? There's something for everyone in Europe, really. :)

Architecture. But we have to worry about her mobility, so I'm not sure if we're going to get a PASS or a car. Depends on how she's feeling. She likes to touch every stone, though, you know? So I figure maybe we'll just drive from one end of the UK to the other for 3 weeks or so.

The architecture in Barcelona is really gorgeous! Also Budapest and Oxford.
