Our dog Orion travels with us from time to time. Sadly we can't take him with us everywhere, but we do our best to bring him along with his safety measures and some of his comforts. He loves it!

Poopie, that was actually my first time visiting the place, and I must say it was simply awe inspiring. As much as cameras are great today, they don't quite transmit the awe factor. I hope to be going back soon. One of the things I love about this country is that is has a huge diversity...
