See you later, Nana Turner

I'm glad that we were able to visit Nana recently. We will miss her.

 A trip down the Glenelg River

We are way behind the eight ball on the blog posts. After arriving back in Albuquerque from our Australia trip life has been ripping along! In my mind's eye I see a novel that someone left at a park that the winds are tearing pages from and dispersing them like airborne seeds. Anyway, here is the first posting, a little out of sequenced events but one of my highlights from our trip. Barbara and George and the Brandenburdetts drove to the small town of Nelson right on the Victoria/South Australia border for a half day cannoe trip down the Glenelg River.

Paloma is anxious to navigate a river in Australia. Will the Coriolis Effect alter her paddling?

George and Barbara make tracks to paddle back into Victoria.

The limestone cliffs that line the Glenelg River. I imagine they might be chocked full of fossils.

Imogen spies something on the bank....

Oh! a baby wallaby!

Barbara and George seem to be moving with great efficiency down river

After a few hours the effects of the rocking boat, sun, and the rhythm of paddles on water begin to lull the passengers.

Suddenly Paloma spies something on the bank...

OH!

After we all arrive back in Nelson we head to the shop for ice cream and the ocean. Stay tuned!
