USA 2013



We somehow earned a trip to California to attend an audiology conference in Anaheim. Earned or not,
we extended our stay to include Las Vegas (with a day trip to that canyon) and San Francisco.
This gallery shows some of the things we encountered, in chronological order. Most are geotagged.
