Photos and book giveaway

I want to get back to you with the routes through the Grand Canyon National Park that I especially liked. In the meantime, here are photos from sunset and sunrise.

Talitha and I are in Phoenix now for the rest of our Arizona trip. We’re attending the Together for Adoption Conference. I’m one of the official blogger/tweeters, posting at NoelPiper.com. I hope you’ll come over and read about it, and also for a chance to win some good books.

Brazil photos

The whole array of my photos from Brazil are online now at Shutterfly.

Jet lag strategy

My strategy for jet lag is to milk it for all it’s worth for as long as possible. So, since today is just my 2nd full day back home from a 15-hour time zone difference, I must still be pretty much good for nothing, right?

That means I better just take it easy and finish organizing photos from the trip. I’ll let you look over my shoulder to see some Sydney scenes and some Brisbane shots and some favorite food and coffee in Brisbane.

As long as I’m woolly anyway, staying amongst my photos lets me feel like I’m still traveling. (Woolly is one of the useful words we picked up in Australia–fuzzy-headed, muddled).

What’s your jet lag strategy?

Katoomba photos

Skipping back a few days, here are some photos from Katoomba, up in the Blue Mountains. We’ll be back there again this weekend, just before we fly home.

Sydney icons, and 3 more chances to win

sydney harbour bridge and opera houseWhat’s the first thing most people see in their minds when they hear the word, Sydney? Yes, the Opera House. Right next to it, mentally and literally, is the Sydney Harbor (I mean Harbour) Bridge.

Yesterday, Kate and I took a ferry from Darling Harbour around to Circular Quay, sailing under the bridge and past the Opera House.

I was glad I had an extra camera battery along! Now I need your help. And in the process, you’ll have your name entered again, up to 3 more times.

Muesli, melons, & meat pies

Yeah, I guess there is sort of a food focus in these posts, isn’t there? Just think of all the new possibilities in a new place.

But if food isn’t your thing, this newest batch of uploaded pictures does include some other things as well.

Photos — Minneapolis to Brisbane

We’ve arrived in Sydney. The internet at the hotel is so fast it’s making my head spin–at least compared to what we’ve had earlier. So as I have time, I’ll post links to my Shutterfly photo share page–Nations Be Glad.

Looking back to the beginning of our trip one week ago, here are photos from Minneapolis to our arrival in Brisbane, including lunch on Mt. Coot-tha.
