Oh to be a young world traveling chess master (one wonders what its like :) Ever consider having Abby do some guest blogging Elizabeth?
ReplyDeleteConsidering the BS she had to deal with the last couple of times she blogged for CLO, perhaps a little more freedom of expression and an audience with a touch more open mindedness would be a good fit?
Just a thought.
Panda power people.
The action shot with Kraai wearing the black beanie holding his shirt over his mug like he's about to rob a liquor store is classic.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they're having a blast. Nice.
ReplyDeleteNot many photos of krush or pruess. I guess they are off doing their own thing.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful trip it must have been with such wonderful people... wish I was there sigh...
