Vacation in Sardinia, Jan. 2005

A selection (really!) of photos from our vacation. I am going to be posting them in batches to allow myself time to annotate them. So check back often!
20 Jan 2005: a second batch of photos has been uploaded!
24 Jan 2005: the final batch of photos is online. I'll be adding a couple of maps sometime reasonably soon, though.
Note: This gallery has several pages. Be sure to click the "next page" link, or show all pages, if you want to see every photo!
