Come with us on our escorted photo tour based on March to June pics, plus updates from July through December.

The photos that appear on these pages were taken by Katy, Jenny and Ron on regular 35mm film, Andrew and Kelly on APS, and Andrew and Ron on digital JPEG (Sony Mavica). They are in .jpg format, and most pages download in under 90 seconds on AOL with a 33.4kb modem, but can take more than 5 minutes on some other ISPs, and more than 15 on webtv.
