Ushuai Day 2 214

March 17th 2012

Another day of learning for me!
Dear Brendan, I love the different lighting on your mountain shots. There are some lovely effects. The end of the world is a beautiful place. Number 214 is my favorite today. I never even knew this place existed until you told me you were going to go here when I came over to see you at your mom and dad's house. Thanks again for posting all these blogs. They are great! Love, Connie

I am so grateful to be able to be here and to be able to share all of this with you and my friends. B
