Picture and Formatting Update

It's been a crazy time since last updating. We saw Paris in a whirlwind of sights, sounds, smells, and tastes... with only a little bit of frostbite. Towards the end of our stay there the weather improved some and the cold was manageable so we saw a good number of sites, but spent a lot of time in museums as well. Following is the new format that I'll be posting pictures in. I'll post a "cover" type picture with a link to the album it is contained in instead of inundating the blog with pictures. This way you can read the text without clutter, then go to the album to look at pictures which are mostly captioned if needed for clarity. Also, most photos will be posted in the lowest resolution to save room in my Picasa albums, but if you happen to like one you can leave a comment with your e-mail and I'll see about getting you a nicer copy.
