UCLA is a beautiful campus and its even more beautiful at night. I’m not biased because I went there or anything… 😛 Anyway, this is Royce Hall and its reflection in the Shapiro Fountain. Go Bruins!
More from the really cool, Cool Globes exhibit I went to last month at the Rose Garden! There were rows of globes designed by artists from all over… Inspirational. “Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race.” You know you want to go listen to […]
Our mission: find somewhere to eat. We walked along the Istiklal Street, the main shopping street, and since we were in search of seafood, we decided to walk towards the water. Well, we walked off of the street and quickly realized we weren’t going to be nearing the water in the direction we were walking […]
Located in the small town of Baker, California, the world’s tallest thermometer can be seen from miles away on the journey from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and back. We stopped to eat at the Big Boy restaurant, and after we were done and night had fallen, the temperature had dropped a couple degrees and […]

As we walked through the courtyard of the Blue Mosque, we glanced inside and found two little girls looking outside with the same curiosity we had looking inside. To them, we were foreigners and to us, they were locals – both of us intrigued but in different ways. Shortly after, we walked around to the […]
As Kristin and I walked along the beach, she mentioned to me the history of the West Pier (seen behind the seagull). After a series of unfortunate events, the pier is in its present condition, the framework for what was once a pier with a concert hall on it extending to land. It was built […]
Known as the national mosque of Turkey, the Blue Mosque is officially named the Sultan Ahmed mosque. This is a photo of the inside of the mosque. It is called the Blue Mosque because of blue tiles used in the interior. In order to enter, your legs and shoulders must be covered, so we were […]
