    1. Thank you Lisa. I’m so fascinated by your life of adventure. I love to travel, but am a little more timid about it. I hope to see more of the world when I retire. In the meantime, I look forward to experiencing it through your photos. I hope wherever you may be on Thanksgiving, you celebrate it in a way that suits you.
