And safer too!



We now have radiator covers in all our rooms - they still need to be painted or stained (depends on room) but they are already a huge improvement over the metal we think. Plus, now we don't have to worry about Jack burning himself!

More artwork..


This time it is a real vintage poster, not just a print/reproduction. Yikes we are old!

Steve and I bought it for ourselves as an anniversary gift yesterday. It is from 1955 and we went to Iguazu on our honeymoon to Brazil. I also visited Iguazu in college when studying in Argentina - the falls are on the border of Argentina & Brazil. I would say it is the most amazing natural site I have seen so far... You just can't get its scale (or even all the falls) in pictures. The main drop isn't even in any of these photos!

Luckily now they don't have steamboats spewing black smoke, though they do still have boats that bring you as close as is safe to the falls.

In one of the modern rubber rafts in '98 during my FSP to Buenos Aires...
