Hi Gail,
As ever, it is such a thrill to see your report! I didn't get the chance, having the crud, to harass you and Jim (Elaine too!) nearly as much as I would have liked... Next year!
Thank you for sharing!
John

I think "monumental effort" is the right word for what Gail does here. I remember my thread about my Terra Mineralia visit last november; the longest report I've ever posted here. It was "only" four pages with about 400 photos, really short compared to some of Gail's show reports. It took me quite long to upload them all and to comment them; so I can imagine HOW much time she spends on this ... she deserves our responses :-)
Keep up the good work, Gail!
Tobi
