Take a Step Inside My Pictures

While Paul and Jan Lemmons were visiting us in Mexico City, we played with Microsoft's Photosynth. We combined both of our sets of pictures and here are some of the "synthy" things we came up with.

Element & Mazatlán

In August, we made a quick trip to Arizona in order to trade in our Honda Odyssey for something that we would actually be able to drive with Mexico City's new transportation restrictions. We are thankful to our sponsor, Palo Verde church of Christ and to our families for helping us make this a reality. After looking around for about a week, we decided to get this Honda Element. It has been a lot easier to drive around Mexico City and it gets great gas mileage!


The last couple of times we have driven up to the States, we have taken the route that goes up the Pacific coast. They have recently finished the toll roads, making the route much more doable. Of course, one of the highlights is to spend the night in Mazatlán. Jeni and I can rest from driving and the kids can get out and play in the ocean. Then, we are ready to get back on the road.
