Wow, what a week it's been. I left home feeling happier than I have in a long time, and returned a miserable wreck. Traveling with my family, especially my mother, is very difficult. LDWS was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Looking back now, I think I overreacted big time. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to win it, but I hoped to make it at least through the first three rounds. I was part of a very talented group, and if any of the remaining participants were to make as big a deal out of being eliminated as I did, I would think they're crazy--because they're all BRILLIANT. So I'm pretty much over that, even though I would have loved to play a bit longer.

Anyway, for anyone who is interested: I bring pictures! Now, I got a new camera and lens JUST before I left and never got a chance to learn to use them, so these aren't great.
