[Click for a larger version of the picture.] Jenny & I took a day-trip to Yosemite yesterday. It’s a little too far away to only spend one day there (360 miles or 580 km round trip from San Francisco), but definitely worth the effort. We went on a hike on the western edge of the [...]
I just came across a really interesting blog: Ara is a sixty-something French-born Armenian chef riding around the US on a motorcycle together with his dog, Spirit. Check it out. The pictures are great, the writing is even better, and his journey is inspiring, to say the least.
Our friend Tony came for a visit last weekend. It was a great time, and I thought I’d share some pictures. These are from the Golden Gate bridge, a kayaking trip in Tomales Bay, and a beach near Point Reyes.
Jenny and I went up to Oregon’s Crater Lake this week. We decided to camp at a state park 40 miles south of Crater Lake, since there is no camping at Crater Lake this time of year. That should have been our clue. When we got there, the weather was beautiful: high 60s, a light [...]
I uploaded some pictures to my Flickr account of my trips to California and Arizona in June. Check ‘em out!
After we got back from Norway, Jenny and I spent a day in London. Since we were running out of money, we decided to only go to free attractions. While a few of London’s more famous tourist traps–the Eye, Buckingham Palace, and Madame Tussauds, to name a few–are fairly pricey, the city has an amazing [...]
Urm… the US. We’re back in the US. The trip back was very smooth, no problems at all. I’ll post some pictures of England tomorrow, but for now it’s bed time!
Norway was… spectacular. Before I throw you a gigantic slab of text, here are some pictures. The first one is from my grandparents’ shinding on Sunday, thrown in for good measure. The trip there was kind of harrowing: there were four different modes of transportation, the first three of which–subway, train, airplane–had some mild snafu [...]
Jenny and I are currently on the Eurostar, traveling to London. I’ve hooked up my little USB GPS dongle-deal-thing I have and we’re currently going 187 mph. Looking at European infrastructure with a critical eye–especially after having worked at Grantworks for a few years and having graduated UT–I have to say I’m extremely impressed with [...]
Today, Jenny and I took a quick trip to Brussels. We took the train, got out at the Central Station, and wandered over to the Comic Book Museum. The Museum is dedicated entirely to Belgian comic books, of which–probably unbeknownst to most Americans–there are an enormous amount. In fact, the Belgian style informed a lot [...]
