I've missed you guys.

Well I just got back from a two month trip to London, Spain, and Morocco. It was wonderful (except the exchange rate), but it feels good to be home, and to have free internet access (think there were 1,500+ new posts since I left). I really missed the California weather, it rained the entire time I was in London and was 120̊F in Morocco. I thought you guys might enjoy some photos of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew right outside of London –excuse the grain, the images are taken from hard copies.

Welcome back! Love the victoria water lily! RBG should be a great place to see! (Not that Spain & Morocco wouldn't, but I'm not a heat person!)

Wonderful! Glad you're back - I'd love to see photos of your travels in Morocco too. I've always had an interest in visiting there one day.

Looks like a great time. Did you have any difficaulties being a citizen of USA? Welcome back.

All I can say is wow, wow, wow. Bring back any interesting items? I'd love a couple days of shopping in Morocco!

No problem with me being a product of the USA. I speak enough Arabic to get by and the people are really accommodating. The food was amazing and the shopping was great (the bargaining was intense). Here are some photos of Marrakesh.
