Completed World Trip

Back in Fresno!

 

After all this time traveling, we've finally made it back to our starting point, Fresno, California!  For the occasion my lovely sister, Joanna, planned a welcome back party for us, complete with a wine and food pairing, the Cali way!

 

Amazing photos courtesy of Henry Park!

 

Leaving the building!

A great picture of Beth and Henry!

 

 

The famous Half Dome.

 

 

I think Dr. Xavier is pleased - not sure if that's because of our wonderful reporting of our world domination, or the fact that I've fed him lunch.  The world may never know.  Alpha Team Caryl and Ania, filing the final report.  Over and Out.
