Heading home
We had a fantastic time, but it’s always nice to be heading home. We’re up at the crack of dawn to fly to Mexico City on Mexicana, then on United to Chicago.

We’re on our way to the Yucatan Peninsula for a week, attending a photo workshop with Monte Zucker and Michele Gauger. Both are accomplished Master Photographers. We’ve been looking forward to this for a whole year!
We’ll be visiting Mayan ruins, jungle, etc. I’m also hoping for boa constrictors, toucans and parrots.
