Photos: Used Google's (free!) Picasa this time around. Should have integrated photos into my blog as we went along, but couldn't get my act together. Uploaded a photo a day to Facebook, usually from iPhone. Picasa Web Album: online, good slide show, individual shots geotagged on Google map at lower right. Quick little movie from Picasa Album (You Tube).
