Travels with Reno South Rotary

A social occasion...

Adam says they aren't good to eat--he threw it back...

Members gathered to share some of their favorite travel photos and stories and enjoyed their own favorite beverages while doing so.

Kate Nickolls won the special prize (a real cocktail at a real location as soon as feasible) by identifying the location of the goats in the tree: the Argon forest in Morocco (near Essaouira.)

One of the best parts of the meeting was a visit with former member Pete Sanborn, now residing in Southern CA (Laguna Woods). Pete is doing great, despite a recent bout with chemo, and invites one and all to play golf if you are in SoCal. Let Jonnie know if you would like his contact info.
