A quick note about the photo gallery. I've updated the gallery and added several new albums of pictures. I also grouped some of the older albums under one title called "Goin' South - Cover Album". So the older albums are still there with pictures (and accessible), but grouped as sub-albums under the "cover album" so that the main album index is reduced in number and will generally have newer pictures. A couple of the older albums still show but I will be adding photos to those as we continue the trip.

In another note: I'm able to email and post to the blog while underway almost all the time. But (for technical reasons) I can only post photos at wifi hopspots ashore which are usually several days apart. So photos only appear every several days and you may often see a blog posted with no accompanying photo for several days more.

This web album stuff is new to me so I'm learning along the way. My hope is illustrate the trip with attractive and interesting pictures while retaining a pictorial record for Nancy and myself in our dotage. If the albums seem overloaded with birds, it is simply because they are beautiful to watch regardless of what they are doing and I am thoroughly beguiled.

Suggestions and ideas are always welcome.
