Guess it’s official- I finished editing all my summer pics this morning. After returning from Florida I did a little scuba diving in Monterey. Then it was time for the Western Regional gathering of the National Speleological Society. Since it was being held in southern Cal. this year near Bakersfield, Mom and Dad drove up to join me.

After that I was off to Mexico again, this time my friend Eileen agreed to come along and so we drove in her diesel vw jetta.

The drive down was a long one but we enjoyed the sites at Gila Bend and Organ pipe Nat. monument. Finally we arrived in Puerto Penasco for a wonderful week of white sandy beaches and plenty of shrimp. I especially enjoyed a trip out to bird island to see the fish and sea lions out there.
