Great trip report, so far! Keep those updates coming!
And in my opinion, digital photography is sort of an art form, especially if you can take advantage of the great editing programs that are available.
For those of us who remember film, we all remember that sense of disappointment when you get your prints back from the lab -- "that's not how it looked at all!" The editing software allows you to restore the image to how it really looked by compensating for bad lighting, or by cropping out irrelevant stuff, or restoring the contrast, or whatever. It can be very satisfying, as long as you don't go too far and make the image look phony.
I save my editing for when we get home -- I don't have time on the road, and then at home it serves as a great way to avoid doing the things I really ought to do. ;)
