I’ll still be in St. Louis though - too many friends and family here for me to leave just yet….

It was mine and the baby’s first trip there. (First airplane ride for the babies too). We had a great time with Uma’s cousins and their families. They were all gracious hosts.

We managed to eat breakfast the whole week at a place called Uncle Bills Pancake House - which is interesting because we used to go to a like-named place in St. Louis. The LA version was much, much better: Fresh squeezed Orange Juice, awesome pancakes and hash browns, great coffee, and superior service.

The biggest difference between LA and St. Louis is the people. There are many more people and many more types of people in LA than in the Midwest. Plus, the pace is just much faster. LA is like New York in that sense.

Anyhow, we all can’t wait to go again. Though the next family trip is going to be somewhere East Coast. Maybe NC? Florida? New York? Boston? Who knows.

Now when I post to Flickr (which is where all my pictures go) they will be automatically grabbed and put on my web site’s server (so that they are viewable through people’s work firewall - for many, Flickr content is not viewable behind their company’s firewall).

    Also, I set up a subscription signup - that way, if you want, you can be notified of site updates. Feedburner provides that service. All email addresses are kept private.

    It’s going to take a while for me to get all the pictures uploaded, in the mean time checkout the new pictures page. Also, the following sets have been added from flickr: Summer_2005, St._Louis_Zoo_2005, NYC_2004, Guen_Visits_2006, and Chicago_2005 .

    I’ve got months of pictures to upload. India pics and baby pics coming soon.
