I have done #2, 33, 34, 40 and 45 (see below). I'm slowly working on the others. Just for fun mind you - there's no prize. I so wish I had taken the date stamp off of my camera before I took this photo. But I am glad I was there to experience it. Lovely spot in Mexico. I was definitely taking it slow there.
