P
Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Poland.  Above is a
picture of the entrance to the concentation camp.  The
entrance to Auschwitz I was - and still is - marked with the
sign "Arbeit Macht Frei", or "work (will) make (you) free."
Cusco, Peru.  Very
beautiful and high in
altitude Cusco.  Felt like
a cross between Italy
and Tibet.  The altitude
takes your breath away
for the first day or so
that you are there.  Left,
April, Beth and I eating
overlooking the main
square.  At right, Beth
and I in the main
square.
Warsaw, Poland.  Above and to the right,
beautiful Warsaw.
Bohol, Philippines.  Above:  Two pictures of the beautiful vegetation on Bohol Island.  Below left, Bob and I at Chocolate Hills.  
They are hundreds of small hills all the same size that are typically chocolate brown in color.  Formed when the island was under
water.  Bottom center, the main town in Bohol, Tagbilaran.  At bottom, right, Bob with the smallest monkey in the world.
Outside Cusco, Peru.  At left, Beth and April feeding the

new people at the wedding...bottom left...a familiar picture
for people about to get married...
Panama
Panama City, Panama.  Skyline of
Panama City.  Visited this city on our
trip to Central America in 2008.  
Amazing the number of tall buildings
here.  It has been called Miami of
Central America.  Got ridiculously lost
trying to find our hotel.  Stayed near a
casino and gambled one night.  Levi
taught us how to play craps.  I rolled
like 15 times once!  Beginners luck!
Miraflores Locks,
Panama Canal, Panama.

 Levi, Bob and I visited
the Panama Canal.  We
were really lucky as the
announcer told everyone
that the biggest ship
every to come through
the Panama Canal came
through when we were
there.  See the pictures of
the ship in all four of
these pictures.  Fantastic
process as we watched
the ship being put
through the locks using
the engines on the side
of the ship.  Really cool
process to watch.
Portobelo, Panama.  We all decided to drive from Panama City on the
Pacific all the way to Portobelo on the Caribbean Sea.  We visited them the
same day.  We stopped on the way and watched everyone take to the beach
for volleyball and soccer and beer and music on holiday (to the left).  And to
the bottom, left and right, we visited Portobelo where there was an old fort
right on the water.  Really cool to see.  Levi below fighting off all the pirates!
Paraguay
Asuncion, Paraguay.  Levi and I running around
downtown Asuncion to buy our ticket to the game
for the night and to pick up our gear for the night.  
Above, Bob happened to join us!  (or at least we
wish he did)!  Middle is Levi with his new gear.  
Far right is the Plaza de Heroes, which has the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (right middle) and
the site of the partying later that night...Bottom
right, is the site of the Presidential building.  
Below is Levi doing air guitar in the middle of
Asuncion...makes sense right?  And what am I
doing?  And bottom middle is Levi buying
stamps, AGAIN!
Asuncion,
Paraguay.
 Levi and
I went to the
Paraguay vs
Argentina game in
Asuncion.  We got
our gear including
clothes and horns
and we were ready
for some fun!  We
took our team
photos!  And that is
us at the game.  
The crowd would
jump up and down
and say if you are
not jumping, you
must have the skin
of a pig!  (bagging
on the light skin of
the Argentinians!).  
And bottom right is
us at the party
afterwards outside
the Plaza de
Heroes..one of the
coolest
experiences ever!
Lima, Peru.  Top left, a park where Peruvians come out to
