Praise google, we have finally sorted through all the photos from our trip. I have a friend who went to Morocco this spring and when he came back he mentioned that he had ridden a camel. And I was like, "Nuh-uh! You rode a camel? An actual, real camel? For reals?!" And he said yes, and that he had photos to prove it. So every day I would go to his website, where he posts his photos, eager to see the camel, yearning to see the camel, and...no frickin' camel. No photos at all, in fact. And so every day I would email him and say, "Um, where is THE CAMEL? Dude, you said I could see the camel but by not posting your photos you are making that extremely difficult. I WANNA SEE THE CAMEL." And then after like, TWO WEEKS of me pestering him about the damn camel, he finally posted the pics. Including several of the camel. And, can I just tell you, it was totally worth the wait. But still, I was like, "Dude, you are a complete lazyass for taking TWO WEEKS to post photos from your trip. I mean, what is your problem?!" But now? Yeah, I totally understand.

So, here they are. Well, these are not ALL of the photos from our trip by far. But they're some of my favorites, many of which Rob took. (Sorry, no camels.)

Great pics, Kelly.

The London one with the weird celing (#19, I think?) made me a little woozy. So did the swirly/blurry Eiffel Tower one, and the one looking down the spiral staircase.

I seem to be prone to wooziness this morning.

The guard in the itty-bitty guard house (shack? booth? whatever.) totally looks like a toy soldier. Hee.

Too bad about the camels, though. You totally set us up for some camel pictures. ;o)

Thanks for taking us along on your trip, virtually!

You think you're bad at photo sorting? I don't have my wedding pictures yet. My parents had them for a year, and now David's parents have had them for more than a year. How long does it take to pick which ones you want enlarged? Sheesh!

your pictures are so
beautiful. they belong in
an art gallery.

okay, michael, this
was a bad idea -- it is
very addicting.

What? No camels in Paris? Obviously you didn't get to THAT part of town.

Tre beautiful. Okay, so I took high school Spanish.

Love the British stop sign, although I believe it has more form than function. Did you take any bad pictures on your trip? They're all gorgeous.

And if it makes you feel better, I think one of your space aliens has camel toe.

Beautiful, and worth the wait.

:)

Love the pictures, truly beautiful!

The London ones brought back memories of my visit there as a child. I too got a little woozy with the Eiffel tower one! Thanks so much for sharing them with all of us, I must agree...it was definitely worth the wait!
