[Leica] Fall trip to California

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Thanks Jim.  Been back to New England for some fall color, and even though 
we missed the peak and it rained every day, it was fun.  I will come back 
again one of these years.

And the history....   Really enjoyed reliving our revolutionary past and 
walking on roads and floors that George Washington, Paul Revere and other 
have walked on.  Amazing.  It really taxed my brain to recall what I learned 
in 5th and 6th grade. But those nuns did a great job as I remembered quite a 
lot from the early 60's.

Arum:

Those are some nice photos of some majestic places in the west.  Not too
many like that here in New England... but we do have our autumn leaves
and a lot of historic places.

Thanks for showing them.

Jim
