Souvenirs (other than the sore feet)

[j_cheney]

When displaced_texan and I travel, we usually pick up souvenirs. He generally picks up small artwork to put in his office. I pick up rocks:


So the rocks here are from different significant locations. From Left to Right:
#1 is from the path we took walking over Mount Royal in Montreal. It was rather steep, and snowing lightly.
#2 is from a walking path near Loch Carron (which is near Stirling in Scotland)
#3 is from the Stony Desert in Australia (when we were on the camel thing). The Stony Desert is near.....William's Creek, which is sorta close to Coober Pedy, which is north of Adelaide. (OK, to the right of the middle of the continent and down, how's that?)
#4 is from Arkansas, where my mother's family had a tiny farmhouse. Other family members got rather larger stones from the foundation to take away with them....This one does just fine for me.

We also seem to accumulate cold weather gear on every trip, because it always turns out colder than we expected. So, for no reason better than that, my new tuque and gloves....

You stole pockets from a 10 year old? You should give them back...

Rocks rock :)
Some look great if you keep them in water!

I need to get some mineral oil to gloss these up, the one from Aus is particularly beautiful wet...
