Karen and I just returned home from a month of traveling. We're coaching a squad of 32 World Racers for the next year (if you're an empty nest couple looking for a way to invest in the next generation, let me suggest it - it's like adopting 32 young adults into your family). And then today we'll start training our largest group of Racers ever - 57 at last count. They are excited about going around the world together beginning this October and I know they must be excited about meeting each other for the first time today. We have got some excellent photographers on the squad we're coaching. Here are some of their pictures from Mexico and Central
America.
