Thanks To World is Round
I was very sad to hear that World is Round may come to an end if nobody picks up the ball, so to speak.

I for one, am partly to blame, as I've never contributed any money to this site.

Thank you World is Round for everything you've done.

Beautiful Nature & People
Sometimes good pictures are much better than any other words... *^^* I really enjoyed watching the photos and the explanations which were very challenging to understand for non-English native speaker.*^^* However, I do like the way you write, since I feel like I hear your voice! I can see that Alaska is so beautiful and peaceful, but of course very cold. Your wife's pink cheeks make her look even cuter as well as showing how cold she was. Thank you for the sharing your trip like this! This is wonderful. I just need a good rest thinking about the beautiful nature which you took on your camera. Thank you very much! *^^* With a big smile, KimChi P.S.: You can walk and take a picture in Santa Cruz. *^O^*
