my first taste of the raw...still debating if i liked it or not. :)

dispatch from the cliffs

im standing on a giant cliff in big sur. super windy and absolutely gorgeous. very cool part of this trip!

the reason we came

in the middle: Rudi, Kirsten, and Adelaide Graf. we are here for the baptism and marriage confirmation. also Emily and Rudis friend Steve.

inside the del monte hotel

strangely, no cans of pineapples or green beans anywhere. gorgeous old building. naval postgrad school in monterey.
