Cousin John (John O'Bryan IV, that is) has always been a "Barnes" in Irish clothing. From my early days babysitting him to his infamous visits to New York to join in our annual New Year's Eve party, John has always entertained us with his sarcasm and wit. In October 2003 he paid us a visit in Orange County on his way eastward across the US before flying off to travel the world. Nearly two and half years later, Cousin (now "Uncle Cousin John" to Mallory and Nathalie) recently visited us on his drive westward back to Seattle. In between visits, John explored the four corners of the world traveling to Australia, Africa, Middle East, and throughout Asia and Southeast Asia. If you've got a few minutes to absorb some breathtaking pictures of his visit, take a peek at his blog at YieldNot – The Unending Quest for the Fun in Life.
