Sacramento: State Capitol in the state capital

I had the opportunity to visit Sacramento twice. People usually ask me why I like to go there because there seem to be a general consensus that there is nothing cool in Sacramento. I beg to differ!

Hazy shade of… summer

In the summer of 2012, my girlfriend and I decided to drive to Oregon and visit Crater Lake National Park. When we got there, it was extremely hazy because of wild fires.

This post will take you on the second part of the walk from Bastille to Arc de Triomphe. Did you appreciate the break in the middle?

Paris, je t’aime (part IV): On a walk from Bastille to Les Halles

This was actually a much longer walk because we walked from Bastille to Arc de Triomphe. But I’m thinking you guys could get out of breath if we don’t take a break halfway. So in the post, you’ll see photos taken at Bastille, by the Seine, at Notre-Dame de Paris all the way to Centre Georges Pompidou and Les Halles.

Paris, je t’aime (part II): The Louvre

I say The Louvre… You say…?

Paris, je t’aime (part I): le Père Lachaise

Haha. Not so sure about the title here, but hey. I just went with a big ol’ cliché. It’s actually been a while since I went on this trip. I went there with my girlfriend over the summer. But you know how it goes. Things get in the way, and you just never get to take the time to post the Paris pictures. Anyway.

Switzerland part III: The people of Place de la Palud

This is going to be my last post about my recent stay in Switzerland. For those who don’t know, Place de la Palud is located in Lausanne and is the home to 16th century Fountain of Justice as well as well as an old clock.

Switzerland part II: Gruyères

Even if you are an American and know nothing about Europe (it’s not an insult. It just happens a lot), you might recognize this place’s name…From the supermarket…maybe….yeah? Got it?
