Fred
Hughes: Last
July, my wife Aurelia and I took a dream trip that included stops in Seattle,
Washington and Vancouver, Victoria, and Fairmount Hot Springs, British Columbia,
Banff Springs and Calgary, Alberta, and finished off with a week long cruise
to Alaska with stops in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. The sights were wonderful
and full of excitement every day. We combined almost three weeks of nature and
golf. It was a truly memorable experience. The picture is a humpback whale pod
near Juneau, Alaska.
This
is not the Loch-Ness monster! It's just the whales Fred shot in Alaska.

Calin: Last summer I visited Taiwan for about one month to do research
at NCTS. I was exposed for the first time to Chinese culture which I found
very interesting. The food was very tasty and organic. Chinese people are
very nice and friendly. I am planning to go for another visit next summer.

Walter
Parry: I traveled to Brigham Young University in the summer to continue
a research project with Jim Cannon of BYU and Bill Floyd of Virginia Tech. One
day we went for a hike in the mountains near the university. They are also close
that we can walk from Jim's house into the mountains to where these photos were
taken.
