2008 08 Galápagos FINALISTS : The Amaz!ng Adventure 3 (TAA3) was a voyage through the Galápagos chartered by The James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). The JREF Galápaguenos gathered in Quito on August 8. On August 9, we toured Quito. On August 10, we flew to Baltra (via Guayaquil). From there, we journeyed through the islands of the archipelago. There were morning and afternoon hikes, and opportunities to snorkel. This wondrous place was an inspiration to Darwin. It's the world's finest zoo with no cages! And to spend a week touring it with 100 fellow skeptics was truly a joy. Pics of my (in another album) feature the smile that never left my face that week. We left the islands on August 16 with richer spirits and thousands of pictures. Here are the best of what I saw.

Las Vegas Lights : Some night shots taken in Las Vegas after TAM6 ended and before I flew back to Sacramento. I didn't stray all that far from The Flamingo (TAM6 HQ), and I was loaded with camera gear (shooting vest, tripod, etc.). Still I managed to get propositioned 1.5 times. For TAM7, I added a day to my stay so I could get some night shots. Went out earlier in the evening, but still got back to South Point (TAM7 HQ) fairly late as is evident from the clock shot. The 2009 shots begin at the Luxor (Sphynx).

2005 06 Rio Americans in Paris I (Spring) : On June 15, a group of some 30 Rio Americano students traveled to Paris. Teacher Alec Hodgins organized the trip and I came along for the ride. And to snap a few pix. The first week, the students stayed with local families and Alec, his wife Christine, and I had to keep ourselves entertained in Paris. We did OK.

2003 06 Hilo Hewitt Hawaii Holiday : I enjoyed a wonderful visit with Paul and Lillian June 17-24. Here are some of the photos I brought back. They include some from the Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Gardens, Waipio Valley, The Hilo Hewitt Clan ('other Paul,' Luda, Alex and the very photogenic Gracie) and Volcanoes National Park.
