I’m back from Cuba. This has been the case for two weeks now.

I don’t have anything to add to my letters. The visit gave me a different appreciation on my life at home. I think that’s a good return on my investment.

And, isn’t that what travel is about?

noisybastard brought a digital camera and took some vibrant pictures. Meanwhile, Sam and I took two film cameras: an EOS, and FTb. Most of these developed shots, in my opinion, are more true to how I felt life was there...

Gritty.

I’m increasingly becoming addicted to flickr.

David, one of my best friends in high school, would take me out on evening photo trips. I would borrow my Father’s Topcon and try my hardest to not be terrible. It’s better for mankind that none of those exposures made it past the negatives.

Since the Topcon went away, I’ve gone from borrowed camera to borrowed camera. And, I’ve built up a modest set of galleries. But, next week, things will never be the same!

It’s a good little point and shoot. When I want to go full manual, there will still be two film bodies and Sam’s A410.

STP! No, no wait! I meant STP!

noisybastard and I planned finishing in a single day. We then woke up two and a half hours late.

It was the world’s most relaxing back to back centuries. (riding 100 miles) And, this time not on a cruiser bike.

Highlights?

• Cross-dressers on cross bikes.
• Running into friends like Katie J., Aden, and Elise.
• Camping under the stars at Centralia College.
• 20 mph “sprints” for 50 miles.

And, I even rode to work the next day.
