For our anniversary, Peter and I headed to the beaches of Port Lucaya, near Freeport, in the Bahamas. We couldn't pass up the great deals available to anyone crazy enough to visit the Caribbean in the middle of hurricane season.

Peter had a business gathering in Kennebunkport, Maine. It was the perfect excuse for a long weekend, and the weather cooperated marvelously! I can see why the Bush family chose this quaint New England sea town as a vacation getaway.

I had a quick trip to Portland for work, and having never been to Oregon before, I took the opportunity to explore as much of the area as possible. Here's what I saw...

After months of preparation, the big day finally came and went. It was mostly a blur for us, but we caught it on film... so there's proof!

Two prerequisites for living in Boston are worshiping the Sox and loving Aerosmith. Although I now live in Germany, these loves don't die. So I drove up to Köln (Cologne) with my roommate Monika to catch Aerosmith's last show in Germany for their 2007 World Tour. Their energy, attitude and presence made the entire place come alive! Wed had great seats, but I was almost disappointed not to be in the pit, because I just wanted to stand up and dance the whole time.

For a recent business trip to Kosovo I flew in/out of Skopje, Macedonia. On my departure, we had to go to the airport a number of hours before my flight to drop off passengers taking an earlier flight out. So, rather than sit at the airport for hours, my escorts showed me some of the local sights in Skopje. Oh, and the album title is a reference to a class of predictable/formulaic jokes. It will make sense if you know those kind of jokes and if you know how to pronounce Skopje.

The CLK I ordered on February 1, 2007 was finally ready for pickup, and not a moment too soon with this gorgeous Spring weather Germany's had. Here's a photo journal of the big event.

Where better to celebrate Easter than the eternal city? I joined my friends Alessandro (a native of Rom), Aliz, and Marcus for a 5-day adventure through history.

My biblestudy group, the Haus, arranged a tour of Greece to visit many of the Apostle Paul's missionary stops in the region. The trip was enlightening, inspiring, relaxing, and fun! Couldn't ask for more!

My own National Geographic experience... no bears, injuries or other heroics, but an exiting adventure nonetheless. My friend Lee and I climbed to the summit of Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze, at 2969 meters.

Views of the Hauptstrasse and other Heidelberg sights, taken at night from the windows of my apartment.

I dropped in to visit my brother and niece in San Francisco and my niece hooked me up with a whirlwind day tour of the major sights.

The endearing adventures of my beloved reptile.

My friend Jeremy and I played jet setters for Memorial Day weekend. We rented a convertible and drove to Monaco where we found great weather, delicious food, and plenty of opportunity to dress up.
