instead of hanging out with prince and jack white after the citizen’s band performance we went to a mellow little bar in the lower east side, drank margaritas and took turns taking pictures of each other. i think caitlin actually took this one of beth.
caught my hometown friends loquat at the cmj festival when i was in new york a couple weeks ago. ryan manley and crew were in fine form.
spent a few days in vegas at the shop.org conference. vegas is not my favorite city, let’s just leave it at that.
after france we drove to geneva. it was my first time in switzerland, home of the world’s top two cities in terms of quality of life (zurich and geneva, in that order).
took a detour to flavigny-sur-ozerain, france during our barge trip for a “culture unit”. this is where the movie “chocolat” was filmed and you can see why: each twist and turn through this tiny town reveals another perfect french medieval scene. i think i took 300 pictures in 30 minutes.

spent a few wonderful days on the barge trox, cruising slowly up the burgundy canal in southwestern france. not sure why they let me drive but luckily i didn’t smash into anything.

had a great time in munich, including this wonderful bike ride we took through the city (with a few beer garden stops along the way). i think munich is the most bike-friendly city i’ve ever visited.

went to ascot for the king george horse races while we were staying in london. it was a nice hot day and a classically british outing. pimms was consumed along with copious champagne and the spiciest salted beef sandwich i’ve ever eaten. our friends from london & brighton were excellent hosts.

had a great time with the team back in brighton in july. was lovely to see everyone again and spend some time at the oh so and the ha-ha. apparently the weather before we got there was dreadful and the weather since we left has been worse. guess we were lucky.

took this while camping the night before my near-death rafting experience. things seemed so calm and peaceful then..

had a great time at the final four in san antonio. got some nice shots of the final after i realized that they’d actually let me take in my big camera & lens. great weather, nice people, and an exciting final. only downside was carolina collapsing.. oh well. things look good for next year.
