Hope the "readers" of this blog don't mind sharing in some occasional travel shots. Don't mean to brag, but only to share some fun and fortunate experiences on the road.

This shot depicts Your Captain and Lala the Panda, a permanent resident in the Wolong Panda Reserve and Breeding Center in China. It was taken about a year ago. Wolong is a tiny and mostly wild place located about 5 hours from Chengdu, which is a city of 10 million in the Southwestern province of Sichuan. Wolong has been chronicled in many TV documentaries and is quite amazing to visit if you can get there. In 2005, there were 14 baby pandas born, the most ever. Lala is not one of them; she's a lot older, but she was probably also raised in captivity due to her accommodating nature.

P.S. - I've discussed this photo with a few teammates so it was time to share.
