Cheese and Danish

Posted on Sep 13, 2015 in Travel

I am in Holland for the week and took some pictures around the city I am staying in – The Hague.  This country loves Milk and Cheese and Bikes.

Temecula, The Napa of San Diego

Posted on Aug 23, 2015 in Travel

We took a drive up to north, north county San Diego to Temecula.  It’s a nice little old Western town with lots of old buildings and tons of winery and wine shops.  Many call it the Napa of San Diego.  Well, not many, but that is the way I call it. I should call their tourism board and promote that for them. It was a fun little day with Tu exploring San Diego.

A Walk in Westminster London

Posted on Jul 11, 2015 in Travel

I finished work Friday evening and it was a real pleasant summer evening in London.  It was warm for a change and that rarely seems to be the case here.  So I just started walking.  I think I must have walked 10 miles.   I didn’t want to sit in the cab on such a nice night.

Pictures Around London

Posted on Jul 7, 2015 in Travel

In London for some work this week but got a couple of hours to take a long walk along the Thames.

The Thames is a long river that runs along the whole city and they built a walkway so you can literally walk the whole city by the River.

Some of the most iconic sites in London are along the river.  The weather was a perfect 70 degrees and sunny which is unusual for London.  I think I lucked out because last week was brutally hot here.

Why This Hotel Never Took Off, I’ll Never Know

Posted on May 26, 2015 in Travel

It’s located in the middle of nowhere off and old dirt road.  There are 3 coaches in front, and a few broken windows.  We located it today, while driving through the remote hillsides of Jamul not far from the Mexican Border.

Off course I am referring to the beautiful Bamboo Inn which for some reason has a big CLOSED sign hung from one of the broken windows. It’s  a real shame this place didn’t take off because it looks like a real gem.

A Trip to Napa Valley

Posted on May 26, 2015 in Travel

Our good friends, Tim and Brian were getting married in Napa so we headed up for a beautiful weekend in wine country.  Napa has risen to the the foremost region for producing wine in the world, even above France and boast some of the finest wines in the world.  Well Tu and I don’t really drink wine but there was still plenty to do in this beautiful part of California.

A beautiful and green place to visit.
