Photos From The Road (and sea) Part VI

The Odyssey got its sea legs on the ride from Seattle to Bainbridge
Island.

Photos From The Road Part V

Tunnel shot in Seattle.

Following The Rio Grande

To Taos.

Inside

From the inside of the Basilica of St. Francis.

Update FYI: Birthday cake is no longer my favorite Jelly Belly.
Don't ask.

Santa Fe

An art gallery on every corner.

Definitely the place to shop if you are looking to outfit your rustic
mountain pueblo with some fine décor.

In the background is the St. Francis Basilica.

New Mexico Vibe

Stay out!

I fancy this quote, but I think it could apply to many areas of the
West.

This was at the O'Keeffe Museum.

Outside Albuquerque, NM.

Aunt Jan disclaimer: Still no UFO sightings.

The Future

Orioles 2008 first round draft pick. Brian Matusz. 4 innings
pitched, 8 Ks. Not too shabby.

Surprise!

I'm at a baseball game! But that should come as no surprise.

I'm In Surprise, Arizona for one 1 of 2 on the day.

Behind the dish, Orioles uber phenom, Matt Wieters.

The Arizona Fall League

The photo here is in Scottsdale. Earlier yesterday I saw a game in
Peoria.

A number of factors play into this being a baseball lover's paradise:

-gorgeous, always sunny, blue skies, slightly windy, 80 degree weather

-two showcase games/day of the best minor league prospects in baseball

-$6 tickets for seating ANYWHERE in the ballpark

-no crowds, meaning no overwhelming obnoxious Yankee or Red Sox fans

-fighter jets roaring overhead during games

-Snyder, Reimold, Matusz, and Wieters

-and no walkout songs, promotions, advertisements, mascots, or the
wave... Just baseball

It doesn't get much better than this.
