Travel Partner and I are leaving tomorrow for two weeks in the Southern Caribbean. I'm planning to take lots of photos and I'll start playing with them and adding new posts when I return.
Best wishes to all!

Navajo Code Talker
This statue is located near the office where I work. It was sculpted by artist Doug Hyde and is a tribute to the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II. The flute in his hand is meant to be a symbol of communication.
