Back From Bahariya

This is only a quickie. We've returned from Bahariya Oasis and we had a fabulous time. These are only a few pictures of the startling, bizzaro realm of the oasis and parts south. There are many, many more of these and plenty of stories to come. Later. For now, enjoy these.

Spend a weekend at an oasis or spend a weekend in Minnesota? It's such a toss up! You are missed here, though I'm guessing you're missing us less. There will, however, be a pumpkin carving at Cheri's on Sunday. Maybe you will miss us then.

Actually, Aleana, the scenes in Star Wars that are set on Tatooine (the desert) were shot in Tunisia, which is not so far from here. Check it out on a map.

All's well.
