Terrific!! Thanks for posting

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

Yes, thank you for posting this! It's an amazing palm "travel log" thread in a gorgeous spot of the world.

The intermixing of photos of different ages adds such a charming feel to the site. While the current photos are breathtaking in their quality and subject matter, the sephia and black & whites whisk you back to a vintage explorer feel. Only 10% of the way through so far but particularly enjoying the Fairchild's photos.

Pull up a relaxing chair, grab a tropical drink and plan to spend some time traveling thru this site.
