September 17th in Recent Years

For a long time, in fact probably a decade, we have taken a substantial vacation during the fall. Although this month is the start of a school year, my program is extremely flexible. I teach by contracts and can request when to have off. The weather is generally great during September and October but the crowds less. It's been a perfect time to get away.

This year, I chose to teach now. In fact, I was busy enough with class this morning to be a little tired at the moment. I found it hard thinking of an interesting blog entry for today. I reckoned I could simply dip into my online, Flickr archives in order to document something of interest. I settled on the idea of a quick review of exactly where I've been on September 17th during the last eight years.

Here are the results:
