President Trump Orders National Parks to Raise Fees on International Visitors
It was a bold choice to wear a straw boater hat for a serious backpacking trip, but it works. This is 1991, in Andalusia, Spain. Gorge, in the Wally Cleaver shirt, was a fun work friend, and Isabel, with the pink backpack, was my best friend and savior. The other four were friends of theirs.
