Good Times
Japan in Taiwan
Went out with some friends to a Japanese restaurant just around the corner from school. Those clams on the bottom right side of the photo were particularly good.

Merry Christmas to our family and friends around the world. We hope that the day is filled with great company and delicious food. For our friends down under, enjoy the beach and warm weather and for our friends to the north stay warm, huddle around the fire and enjoy each other’s company.
Our non-traditional Christmas breakfast of lanjager, bread, buffalo mozzarella, artichoke hearts and marinated olives.
On the move in San Francisco
On June 10 we headed to San Francisco for about two weeks of fun with family and friends. Laura and I arrived in SF a day before her friends and my dad arrived from Seattle. I met my dad at the airport and we headed up to Yosemite for a photography workshop while Laura waited for her friends to arrive.
Must be my lucky day!
The next three nights were very different for both of us. Laura spent her days shopping, drinking coffee and walking the streets of SF while my dad and I hiked around 8000 foot mountains taking hundreds (693 to be exact) 
of photos around Yosemite.

On the fourth day, all 6 of us met in Ghirardelli Square for some ice cream, more photos and an early Father’s Day dinner.
The whole gang in our room
Laura and I saw everyone off to the airport and then had 8 more days to relax, shop and get our fill of Mexican food, the one food group we miss most since moving overseas.
