Hi guys, I'm back! After ten years!
People were starting to ask me why I stopped posting. Truth is, I went on vacation, and then felt really lazy for the month following my vacation. (Dugong Mode)
But anyway, Dugong mode is off, and in fact, I finally got to organize some of the junk lying around at home (more on that later).
So, here are a few photos from our recent trip to the States.
East Coast: New Jersey and New York
West Coast: Santa Monica and San Diego

| We went biking on this thing called a Street Strider. Think of it as a cross between a crosstrainer and bicycle! Fun and wow it gives you a real workout!!! |
 |
| For my birthday, we had lunch at 1 Pico, this yummy restaurant in the prettiest hotel in Santa Monica-- Shutters on the Beach. |
 |
| By evening, we drove to Gjelina for dinner with Darwin's cousins! |
