The Atlantis in the Bahamas...tolerable I suppose






















These are some shots of our trip to the Bahamas. Camille and Michelle happened to join us for this excursion, and seemed to enjoy themselves.



I took them for a walking tour of Nassau, which included the fort at the top of the hill ... very warm, and very humid!

Bartering for goods was a lot of fun, especially when we ran into a lady we had gone to church with earlier in the week.




It looked like fun, so I traded her for a while and sold stuff to tourists. "Hey, pretty lady, like to buy some earrings?"

Great Britian is pretty great!











So we went to England to visit the queen ... actually, I took a course at the Business School at Oxford, and spent a week in London enroute. We asked these two Bobbies to pose with Dana near #10 Downing Street, where the PM lives. On to Parliment and Big Ben!

I tried to explain to Dana that the Red Box was not a public restroom but a phone box...I hope she believed me!
While in Notting Hill (think Portabello Road market), we stumbled accross our name emblazened on a pub accross from the tube station. Naturally, we had to stop by and amaze the staff, and have a bite to eat.
I'll post some of the more touristy shots later for you vacation purists.
