these are just a handful of the photos we took on our trip. i took about 800 out of which about 250 were blurry beacuse they were taken while moving on very narrow roads and no where to pull over to take pictures. so i feel lucky to have any that worked. but it was so much fun and we especially enjoyed being with our families there!
