Holiday Inn Express Medina, Oh

... Put up the tree. Watch movies. It's going to be a good month back. Looking forward to it.

The past week I've been in Panama visiting the family that hosted me two summers ago. They changed my life. It was amazing seeing them again. Definitely the highlight of my past few months, out of everything I've done. Nothing can top the relationship I have with them. I got to go to a "Panamanian Fair ...

I just got the bike out of the shop! I've added heated HANDLEBAR inserts (not heated grips), which work great! I also added a cruise-mate lever, so I don't have to mess with that stupid wheel thingey which is standard on the bike.

I also bought Gerbing heated jacket liner and glove liners.

AND, added a mud flap to the ...

For those of you who haven't heard yet, I am going back to Mexico for a week in December. Rather than staying in Irapuato, I will be staying with two missionaries in Leon. I'll visit with them and their friends for most of the time, however I will head to Irapuato for a day or two to visit my friends there as well!

This is such a great opportunity. I've really missed so many of these wonderful people, and so decided it would be great to ...

... regen - een ritje naar de ANWB gemaakt waar ze van die opblaasbare nekkussentjes verkochten (Dank, dank, dank!) Super-de-luxe met extra steunen aan de zijkant voor als je hoofd niet naar achter maar naar opzij knakt. Dat, gecombineerd met oordopjes, heeft mij een prima nachtrust bezorgd. Er was rond 2 uur nog een nachtelijke stop, wat wel prettig was om even de benen te kunnen strekken. Ook prettig van de nachtbus is dat er niet zoveel mensen in zaten: ik ...

... t admit to actually seeing a great deal of the city. The hotel was situated right off of route 80 and not much exploring was done. Interesting to note, though, was the "concept" restaurant in the hotel created by such-and-such chef from Hell's Kitchen. Apparently its just had opened there because it's got a big "new opening" expo upcoming with special, visiting hell's kitchen chefs (who are, don't get me wrong ...

I took a trip to the Iron Pony Motorcycle Accessories store in Westerville, Ohio (shameless plug for store inserted here!), where they absolutely EVERYTHING imaginable for a bike rider.

I spent way too much but got new Harley cycle boots, Gerbing heated jacket liner and glove liners. LOVE the heated gear ...

A week in Cleveland and Ohio showed a quite beautiful area. While the city is not planned, there is a good road system, with lots of freeways, and quite easy to get around. Downtown Cleveland is not huge, but there are some skycrapers and an arena, and two huge stadiums as well as a Science Centre and the ...

When the thought of travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in winter comes to mind it is usually accompanied by mental visions of a frozen tundra with little to do except to huddle around a fire until spring. In fact, the only limitations of entertaining activities in Pittsburgh during winter are self-imposed by those individuals who like to be bored and complain. Pittsburgh is a ...

Arrived to Susan's house at about 930pm. Lost an hour coming east. The ride through Indiana was uneventful. One thing is for sure, I have never seen so many toll roads in my life. I think I spent nearly 30 buck between Milwaulkee and Medina, Oh. One toll charged me $6.75. What is that all about.

Navi had me get off the Interstate 80 alittle to soon. Ended up riding though ...

... Their ability to emote both the fullness and depth of the lower musical registers as well as the bright, higher notes usually associated with violins created a gorgeous sound that was an inspiration to hear.
The Cleveland area is of special significance to the Choir and Orchestra because the nearby community of Kirtland was the first major gathering place for early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the 1830’s, many significant ...
