It’s cold and rainy out — the perfect weather to spend time reminiscing about warmer times and trips to exotic places. Here are a few snapshots from excursions made in 2012.
Enjoy!

You took all of these beautiful photos, and the sad thing is the one I have the most questions about is the baby butt picture >_> I’m so unsophisticated!

LOL! No diapers. Just hold the baby up over a gutter or toilet and done. It’s a little gross, but practical. I first saw this when I was there in 1983 as an exchange student, and in 2013, I only saw two babies with the split pants… maybe diapers are starting to take hold in a formerly diaper-free culture…
