Hello ... long time, no type!

How is everyone?

I'm not officially back from vacation yet (I won't get into Houston until Saturday night, and probably won't post again to G-Net until Monday), but I thought I'd throw a few pics up quick from my Dad's house.

These are from the trip to Tenerife in the Canary Islands that I am just returning from.

Here's the pic of me and my Dad on camelback like I promised:



This is what I look like when I'm standing next to El Drago (The Dragon), a tree in Icod de Los Vinos that is over 1000 years old. I think this puts things into perspective nicely:



This is a picture of one of the snowcapped mountains we saw while we went on the tour of Mount Teide:



And here is a picture of the coastline in downtown Puerto de La Cruz. There is nothing in the world I have ever experienced like eating dinner at an open air restaurant with this view. Notice the volcanic rocks kicking up the spray. A little slice of heaven:



I'll talk to you all more about this soon, but let me tell you that it has left me exhilerated and humbled at the same time. An all-too-brief moment in time spent with my Dad that I will never forget.
