As always the pictures you take are amazing, I look forward to 2012 and just maybe???? The wife and I will be able to come down and visit! I found out that they have direct flights from Minneapolis to the DR!! so now all we have to do is save up a few penny's!! I'm also pretty sure we all will be here in 2013 also! It is impressive as to the carvings the Mayans could create and their calender also. But it is a calendar and as such has a end date! If the Mayan could have predicted the end of the earth than surely they would have done something to prevent their extinction as a people? Only my opinion of course but I feel we all will have to keep working and keep living and dyeing for years and centuries to come. Just maybe 2012 will be Deep Blue's Year and Billy's year to shine!! Stay safe and Happy New year to you and your significant other! and crew!
