"Walked in the footsteps of ChristP.S. For those of you not in the know, Keegan moved back to his hometown of Seattle to work for our sister paper, Seattle Weekly. And, yes, we miss him so.

Had an impromptu mass at the Mount of Olives
Climbed the pyramids of Mexico
Visited the Vatican
Walked up the Red Carpet of Buddha in Thailand"
