This has been a very busy time for me. I spent the first part of the week at Jekyll Island with students from the school. I'm presenting a few pictures I took during the trip.
The deer in the bottom picture is a little out of focus. I didn't have my zoom on the camera. By the time I did, the wild beast had fled. The lighting conditions were just not adequate for a good shot without a tripod. This was the best of the three I shot.
Yesterday I was in Las Vegas. I was told this was the tackiest city in the USA. Well, that's an understatement! Of all the cities to which I have traveled, I'd have to say that Las Vegas is the tackiest city in the world!
I stayed at the Paris Hotel, complete with a horrific miniature of the Eiffel Tower and loud obnoxious "Parisian" music blaring everywhere! All I could think of was, "For just another 2 hours, and I actually could have been in Paris!" The room was very spacious, and the conference was wonderful. Oh, and I must give credit to the taxi cab drivers--I've never met more determined souls!
The flight over on AirTran was particularly dreadful, complete with these loud comments: "I've saved up for 6 months to be able to play the machines. I just can't wait." and "She let you take that picture of her? [ Naked woman on a cell phone] Man, that was really nice!" and this from a particularly loud passenger "You said you were going to start serving drinks in 20 minutes!" Flight Attendant: "Yes, 20 minutes after we take off." Loud passenger: "Now wait a minute, you didn't say anything about taking off first!"
It was a long flight! Thank god for my video iPod. I caught up on all of the episodes of Lost.
