In this photo…My guide at Angkor Wat, Cambodia, seemed more interested in taking pictures of me than I was. For this photo, he'd just directed me to move over a bit for a better angle; I'm more laughing at us than smiling for the camera.From my last trip, I brought back…Custom-made boots
My most-prized passport stamp is…Cambodia—I just love the Khmer script
My best road trip was…The Great MacNeil Family Camping Cross-Country Road Trip of 1994
