Berlin & Dublin

10 very short days on the other side of the Atlantic. Spent most of my time in Dreilinden, a day sightseeing in Berlin, then one night free in Dublin. In 5 words/phrases ...

Berlin: Pork, history, apartments, public transport and languages

Dublin: Green, Guinness, cobblestones, rain, traffic

Horses by the Brandenburg Gate:

The Berlin Wall:
Little red guy with a hat:
View of Smithfield Plaza in Dublin:
Proof i was there:

Cedar City - Utah Shakespeare Festival - Cedar Breaks National Monument

Everyone should take a long weekend every month ... we spent one down in Cedar City & saw The Two Gentlemen of Verona @ the Utah Shakespeare Festival (in a fantastic replica of the globe, Cedar Breaks National Monument (surprisingly great!), and some reasonably dodgy chinese food.

San Diego

5 days in San Diego by the beach! Went with Jaci & Dane, rented a house by the ocean and enjoyed the humidity and bearable heat. San Diego Zoo, Seaworld (complete with it's own deity - Shamu), ocean kayaking, swimming, bbq, sleeping in ... southern California was very very nice :)

The sharks were hungry:

The frogs were bright:
Got a little wet:
A few times actually...this is pilot whale spit:
We were confused when someone from the crowd went onstage under the guise of a 'walrus', but hey... the otter was cute. Best bit was when the otter came out with a can of pepsi.



Mich forked out the big bucks for a foot massage:While i pondered maps:
Coming home to this made it all worthwhile. The roof was a balcony/bbq area with a nice view of the ocean & sunset.
Can't ask for a better holiday! Thanks guys, same time next year.
