Thanks! I took them all-with my old iPhone surprisingly! I'm looking to buy a nice camera, but it's hard to come by a lot of money as a student.

Jon- I stayed in Mexico for only a week. We originally went for a friend's wedding, and decided to spend the rest of the time taking road trips.
Nerd-Thank you! It was! I'll have to post some from a trip to Italy in august.

At the request of Varna I will now begin to post the originals used for the Images & Words photos.
A link for the IAW will be copied in beneath the original. I will begin with the first one and post them all (now there 87 of them).
