It was a blast.
Oh, and BikeMomma, thanks so much for the restaurant suggestion. Vito's in Pacific Grove was exactly what we wanted - a pleasant, casual Italian restaurant with great food.

Awesome! I'm so glad you liked it! We ate there again friday evening. Melt in your mouth good....I could eat there every night, honest. I had the halibut this time, wine sauce, veggies, side of pasta.....sigh. Yum yum yum.

There's a lot more where those came from - I'll burn a bunch of CDs and hand them out when I see ya's. But by now you know better than to hold your breaths

Thanks !
It's a Canon PowerShot S410 Digital ELPH, 4 megapixels, 3x zoom lens. It's very compact and small enough to fit in a jersey pocket, but it's a little on the heavy side for that, so I prefer to keep it in my handlebar bag or bento box. It seems to be a very popular model, I've seen a lot of them out & about. It didn't cost a lot when I bought it over a year ago, but I imagine this model is obsolete by now so maybe you can pick it up really cheap.
I generally set it to the highest resolution (2272 x 1704) so then I'll have plently of pixels left over if I crop any shots - but as it turns out, the only picture I cropped out of the ones I posted was our group photo.
Shooting on the roll is very hit & miss - I set the lens for wide angle, and hold up the camera in the general direction and shoot, no viewfinder involved (otherwise you'd be peeling me up off the road in no time). The trick is to keep the camera more-or-less level with the horizon. And I delete many duds when I get home !
When I post photos on the web I resize them to 480 x 360.
hth, - Jo.
