On thousand or so photos later...

Since arriving in San Francisco yesterday afternoon the boys have pretty much photo-documented everything...street signs, pavement patterns, cable cars, plants, their parents, buildings...

The art of exercise...

In preparation for our epic adventure we have been hiking (aka walking) with the boys daily. To add a bit more ompft and enthusiasm to the concept we are trying a different park/walk/garden each day and have discovered some great places. And whilst the precipitation in Portland is admirably close to what we expect with India's monsoon season, the temperatures leave a bit to be desired. I have considered making the boys walk circles in the shower, but think we will just hope for the best as far as the humidity and heat goes...
