The trip was extraordinarily memorable, with interesting stories to share.  Along the way I did a lot of photography, thus I have gigabytes of material that needs to be sorted through.  The best of this will appear here on DV as I have a chance to process it.  My hope is that I can preserve a bit of the experience here in blog form.
