A Picture Tells a 1,000 words, doesn't it?

Some pictures of our time in the US this summer, where we narrowly missed a tropical storm, experienced the hottest weather ever (thought we would melt), experienced an earthquake and left just before Hurricane Irene. It was eventful.

So if a picture is worth 1,000 words, this post is now worth 5,000 words, according to my calculations.

Hogwarts at Universal. Absolutely amazing, though we never did get to try the Butterbeer. (The line was always too long.)

Meeting the Simpsons at Universal Orlando. Awesome.
