LOS ANGELES march '07

  • Dsc00542
    I have been to LA a few times but always for work and never with enough time to explore the city beyond an LAX hotel. This trip I stayed a few extra days and played tourist. It was a short visit but a good one. I really liked what i saw and enjoyed what I did. I need to come back and spend more time here.

MAINE october '06

  • Maine Colors
    Chirag, Dr. David, Subodh and Jerry flew up to meet me and my parents in Maine to do some leaf-peeping. We spent some time in Augusta - the state capital. We drove up into the mountains to the little village of Rangeley where my family used to live. We also went to the coast - Dr. David and I to Camden with my parents and the Indians to Acadia National Park. I am always happy when my friends get to experience Maine. It's very special to me. So are they.

ROME october '06

  • Our apt in Rome
    In October I visited Rome for the first time as part of a trip with my mother, Suzanne, Grant, and Daryl. We stayed right outside the Vatican City walls and spent a lot of time there. It was very special to be there at the center of the Catholic Church and so much history and beauty with my mother.

MOUNT PLEASANT graduation '06

    Congratulations to Grant for completing his degree at American University. Family and friends gathered in Mount Pleasant to wish him well. It was a fun celebration of a major milestone.

BELGIUM & LONDON march '06

  • Dsc03958
    After a business trip to Brussels, my mother joined me and Miguel for some touristing in Belgium and then London. Miguel and Phillippe were great hosts at their home in Antwerp - as always. After some time in Belgium, Miguel, Ma and I took the Chunnel train to London. It was her first time in London. It was my first time there with her and with Miguel - which made it all new and interesting in a different way. We spent the days roaming the city and the nights - roaming the city - but without Ma - safely tucked in bed. It was a great week.

INDIA february '06

  • Cappcuino in Frankfurt
    This was my first trip to India. I am thrilled that i got to spend two weeks traveling around with Andy & Adi. We were lucky to be joined by Manu for much of the trip. He is a native of Delhi and now a new friend. Step inside to see some pics from our adventures in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Ranthanbore, Udaipur, and many interesting spots in between...

BEIJING december '05

  • From hotel window
    I spent ten cold December days in Beijing. It was my first visit to China and it was wonderful. You can feel the energy of change all around you. The people are so welcoming. The food is incredible. I was fortunate to make a few new friends and to practice and hang out with a swim team there. It was all very fun.

MOUNT PLEASANT thanksgiving '05

  • M & P
    Thanksgiving 2005 in Mount Pleasant was a joyful celebration with family and good friends from near and far. I am lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. Thanks to all of you for making it a wonderful holiday. Again.

JAPAN september '05

  • Garden Serenity
    I went to Tokyo for work and decided to stay an extra week for vacation. I asked my mother if she wanted to join me there - expecting her to say no. She surprised me. We had a wonderful vacation together. I also got to spend two weeks visiting with a good friend, Shu. We met last year in Tokyo and have become good friends. He is a beautiful person.

ANTWERP september '05

  • Dsc02393
    Miguel and Philippe's wedding on September 3rd was a beautiful, simple, and traditional ceremony at the town hall in Kapellan. They were surrounded by friends and family that love them. I am so happy that they asked me to share the day with them.

Sunny & Hot in Amsterdam!

WP_20140710_09_29_39_Pro__highres

Jean and I woke up to another cold, gray, and rainy morning in Belgium but by the afternoon we were in Amsterdam and our first sunny day.  We had a great time just roaming around the city and noticing how nice it felt to be not wearing winter clothes.

Our morning in Gent had also been nice.  We stayed in the neighborhood near our BnB, which we really liked and will return to.  The pic above is Jean enjoying the second B - breakfast - this morning. You can find my reflection in the coffee pot.

And here are my Five Favorite Fotos from our day in Den Haag...

Nature...

IMG_2726

Just enough nature for me.  Green grass peeking through the cobblestones in the courtyard of a medieval abbey in Gent.

Beauty...

The raindrops added to the amazing detail of this statue of the Fine Arts museum in Gent.

Fun...

Loved the bunny.  Loved the Dutch word for bunny.  In Amsterdam.

Spirit...

IMG_2718 (2)

This canal and Sint Pieters Abbey were just outside outside the door of our BnB in Gent.

Just liked it...

As were these bikes and the barge.  We liked seeing them as we left and returned to the BnB in Gent.

And more photos here at my flickr account.
