Manuel will be dearly missed

I just got an e-mail and learned the very sad news that Manuel passed away after having some sort of accident at his daughter's house. He was such a pleasure to be around, and we really have enjoyed getting to know him whenever we have been in Monterrey, Mexico. He was a construction machine, and consistently outworked most of us. I believe he was 79 years old. He will be dearly missed by us, and especially by the Los Nogales Iglesia de Cristo where he was a member.

Panorama! Mexico Edition

Though these are on Facebook, I really liked how these panoramic shots turned out. One is a view of the mountain near the place we were relaxing on Sunday. One is a shot of the front of the church building, and the other is a shot from the top of the church, looking back toward the street where we normally parked. Lots of beautiful things to see in Monterrey. Next year maybe I can remember to bring a tripod so I can rotate the camera on a more consistent basis. You can see a little overlapping/duplication in some places on the pictures.

Mexico Trip

We really had a terrific trip to Mexico this year. For those of you who are curious about what we did, but who don't have Facebook, have no fear! You can access the pictures I have put up on Facebook by clicking here. The second album is here.
