... all around me; I can count five churches from where I sit. Dogs bark in the distance and the sounds on the street below me slowly rise as my neighbors begin another day. Surrounded by so much life I can’t help but feel as though I’m part of something. What exactly I’m not sure but I feel determined to find out.

I am getting a little better about having a caddy and he really does help shape my shots, if only I were more consistent with them.

Pour ce 2eme week end ensemble nous partons visiter un joyau colonial tout proche de Mexico : la ville de Querétaro. Mon pote et ex-colocataire lorque je vivais la bas, Thibaut, nous a prêté sa maison située sur les hauteurs de la ville ...

Le deuxième point d'intérêt est une fabrique de céramique mexicaine que nous avons pu visiter et voir à l'oeuvre les peintres de la céramique. Notre visite s'est terminée par un accès au magasin de pièces de c ...

Now as we have expanded our neighborhood exploring we have found more places. Yesterday it was a tasty roast pork sandwich in an nice crusty roll purchased at the local butcher shop for $1.50 each. Brought them back and ate in our patio accompanied by chunks of the pineapple, diet coke, and some ...

... if weighed down by freshly fallen snow. Only there was no snow, only frost, and these were pine trees with needles instead of leaves, contrary to the sight we were experiencing. As we continued upward we noticed a change int the forest floor as well. The dirt and moss ground had little orange triangles protruding skyward which slowly became thicker and thicker as we continued going up. Leaning over for closer inspection revealed the royal design of ...
