    Posted on by

    The grand canyon is nothing short of magnificent. It is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and for good reason.

    My first big drive of my trip was from San Clemente, California to Prescott, Arizona.

    Sasquatch 2010

    Posted on by

    This was the third year (second in a row) that Lester and I made the pilgrimage from Vancouver down to the Gorge in Washington State. Both Sasquatch 2009, and Sasquatch 2006 were great times, so I didn’t expect anything different this year. We left a little after 1pm from Vancouver and made it into Seattle… Read more »

    From their website: “Vectorial Elevation” was an interactive artwork that allowed you to direct powerful light beams and transform Vancouver’s skyline between February 4 – 28, 2010.

    My Vancouver 2010 Olympic Experience

    Posted on by

    Most people who know me knew I wasn’t a big proponent of the Vancouver Olympics. The city of Vancouver has a laundry list of problems that the money spent on the games could have gone towards. Despite my opinion the games were going to go on, and I had the choice to make the most… Read more »

    Hiking the Lions

    A few weeks ago I went with a few friends and hiked up the Lions. We got up bright and early (a good 5:15am rising), and were ready to leave the city a little after 6am, except we had to wait on the organizer of the hike. As it turns out he was out partying… Read more »

    The Palio di Siena is a horse race that is run twice a year in the Italian city of Siena. I attended the race with Jason this year. Before the trip (really before even getting to Siena) my knowledge of the race was really limited. All I knew was that a bunch of horses raced… Read more »
