Exploring the South

We recently returned to some of our favorite spots in the South of our country, expressing our gratefulness for our times there over the past decade.  We snorkeled in the sea and hiked desert peaks.  We rode donkeys and ran our hands along old stones, beholding an ancient monastery.  Elanor rode along for much of it, adding her own baby commentary to the experience.  The desert has become so special to us.
