Hello Pat and Annabel across the wide world!
Awesome photos. I'm so glad you are documenting this trip - and also that you are sharing it electronically.
While you are enjoying this wonderful adventure, a new group of 42 online students started orientation today. They look to be a great bunch, and I thank you, Annabel, for all the work you did in the first 2 years to help this 3rd year go so smoothly!
Any cool air you can send this direction will be greatly appreciated!
