Years later, and I was returning to the school where I received my high school diploma. As I strolled through the campus, memories came faintly back to me of my days at James Logan High School. With colorful leis around her neck and diploma in hand, my cousin, Tiffany, certainly had everything she needed to […]
One by one, 790 names were called as each student, dressed in red or black gowns, walked up the stage to accept their diploma, a reward for 4 years of work, and more than anything, a symbol of the future that these students were about to embark on. Both my brother, Andrew, and cousin, Tiffany, […]
I am behind 3 photos on my blog!! 😦 I really try my best to do one every day, but I got caught up with being home in the Bay Area! Monday…I’ll have 4 photos and I’ll try not to let this happen again. 🙂 Take care, good night!
Totally forgot to do a photo yesterday, so two for today! Congratulations to Eric and Julie on their graduation from junior high! Located near the west shore of the Willamette River, Portland’s Union Station is the hub for transportation for Amtrak, local buses, as well as the Greyhound bus. It was a day with light […]
In the quaint town of Zarcero in the Central Highlands of Costa Rica is a church surrounded by a peaceful garden. It looked like it was just about to rain, so skies were hazy and the mountains surrounding us seemed to be in the clouds. There was a bed of these yellow flowers to the […]
It was a nice sunny day and as we were ready to cross the street to go to the beach, we saw this curious sign. Must slow for people, dogs, some unknown third animal (any ideas?), and monkeys! Apparently, monkeys come out at night, but unfortunately we didn’t get to see one. Loved this area […]
This post was meant to be posted yesterday, but much of the day was spent traveling home (finally back in Los Angeles). This photo was of one of our cat friends at the hostel we stayed at the first and last night in San Jose. There were 3 cats that we saw roaming around and […]
Early morning rise and shine! Our 6AM bus back to San Jose was one of our few options left as availabilities permitted. As soon as we got on the bus, I closed my eyes and went to sleep because buses are the worse for my motion sickness. We arrived in San Jose and returned to […]
Hola from Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica! Today we arrived in Manuel Antonio and I opened my bag to discover a stowaway – a black beetle the size of my thumb. Who knows how long it had been there or how it even got in, although I imagine it probably wasn’t difficult. Today we left Monteverde […]
Hola! No internet yesterday, so I’m posting yesterday’s adventures. Today’s adventures to come soon! As I sped over the trees of the Cloud Forest, raindrops came crashing down to earth and from top to bottom, I eventually became drenched in rainwater. Ziplining through the Selvatura Adenture Park’s cloud forest was an amazing experience. Through over […]
