Marika and pics from Italy

One of my best friends, Marika, who I met while studying abroad in Australia 4 years ago, recently sent me some really cool photos of her her and boyfriend while taking vacation (or "holiday" as they call it) in Italy. I wanted to put these pics up as I will very soon be visiting these very places and more. Scott and I have planned a trip to Rome, Venice and the Almafi Coast while we are there. We will be going right after Heather's wedding in Vegas, so Memorial day weekend and until June 14th will be a whirlwind of adventure! I'm looking forward to travelling so much and have always wanted to go to Europe. Thanks to Marika and a free place to stay while we are in Rome, it'll work out great. Plus....I'll finally get to see her after 4 years! We'll have so much to catch up on! Stay tuned for more pics when I get back from that trip.... :)

Post-busy season fun

Well, after busy season ended in March, I was ready to get back to having a life. One of the fun things was having my friend Liza's sister, Lacy, come to the city to visit in May. Robert and Liza live in Folsom (near Sacramento) and they were showing Lacy the sights of the Bay Area. We went camping and hiking around Yosemite the first weekend and then out and about San Fran the next weekend. It was really nice weather and we all had plenty of fun! The two bars that we went out to, where the pics are from, are two of our favorites here in SF - Dragon Bar and Fluid. Yosemite was beautiful and we broke in Liza and Lacy, as it was their first time ever camping. :) We didn't really rough it though, as we had air matresses, a propane BBQ, showers and bathrooms. Oh well, we have to ease them into it...so next time we'll take away the showers.
