Stolen Pictures

Ahoj každý!

(Hi everybody!)

It seems like I'm the only one thats posting for now, so I thought until the other Syracuse people start to post their own individual photos, I would take the liberty of sharing with you some photographs which I have re-appropriated from our gracious friend and fellow CET-FAMU participant, David Hall (a junior from Tulane in New Orleans)...

Also, in the post after this, I will transfer some of Brett Dougherty's photos from his blog, while we're in the process of trying to link up his blog feed with this blog...

Again, these are borrowed images, and we thank David very much for letting us substitute his shots for now. I apologize that some of them are cut off slightly on the right side, we'll try and fix it soon. The important parts of the images are still there at least for now. Hope you enjoyed!

Dobrou Noc!
