The Savrans: A Visit to Madison, WI
August 24, 2006

Being in Egypt this summer we unavoidably missed the event of the summer.. the marriage of Scott and Hannah in Madison, Wisconsin. One of my priorities upon arriving in Wisconsin was to get down to Madison to see Scott in his native habitat. Yesterday we were able to congratulate them in person.. and see a little bit of the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

This is the latest of my "back of the head" pictures featuring Scott. The most noticeable difference now is that Hannah's head is there too.. and I am thinking it may be hard to get Scott's head alone from now on.
Looking at Scott looking at the lake, I think about all the places I have seen with Scott.. the sites in Egypt and Syria. One reason I like the back of the head pictures is the way they remind me that I have seen places with other people.. and Scott's presence has been a big part of my enjoyment of some places that are quite dear to me.
