Comic-Con 2007
Last weekend we attended the 2007 Comic-Con in San Diego. While there we got to meet some of the actors who were promoting upcoming movies and TV shows.
I've uploaded pictures of Amanda Tapping, Robin Dunne, and Martin Wood from Sanctuary (Check it out at www.sanctuaryforall.com) as well as David Hewlett, who was promoting his movie "A Dog's Breakfast". There are also pictures of Teryl Rothery, Colin Ferguson, Cliff Simon, Marina Sirtis, and LeVar Burton, and the cast and crew of "Jericho" and "The 4400".
Have fun browsing.
San Francisco, California
| Recently we visited San Francisco again. I say again because, living as close to the City as we do, we tend to spend quite some time there. This time, as the weather was particularly nice and sunny, we stopped at Twin Peaks to get a nice view over the City. We also drove to a few spots that offer great views of the Golden Gate Bridge. |

Twin Peaks is a must stop for everyone who wants to take in the spectacular skyline of San Francisco. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance to your left and the Bay Bridge to the right of the financial district. At your feet lies the City and you can see straight down Market Street. Other sights that can easily be found from up here on a clear day, are Mission Dolores, City Hall and the Transamerica Pyramid, Alcatraz and Sausalito, as well as Treasure Island. It's a nice way to get acqainted with the City and to get your bearings. Twin Peaks is also especially breathtaking at night when the City turns into a sea of lights. After Twin Peaks, we made a short stop at world famous Alamo Square. Aside from relaxing in the park and admiring the old Victorian houses, it offers a very unique view to downtown, combining the old with the new. Finally, we stopped at some of our favourite spots to take in the Golden Gate Bridge. Among our top ten are Fort Point, Baker Beach, Crissy Field next to the Marina District, and of course, the countless views had from Conzelman Road on the Marin Headlands. We ended our day watching a beautiful sunset from Crissy Field, a view we never get tired of. |
New Look
Today I finally got a chance to give my site a fresh, new look. I hope you like it.
In the following weeks I also hope to add more pictures and stories from recent and not so recent trips to Hawaii, Mexico, and California.

Machu Picchu - The Lost City
 |
Machu Picchu is truly the jewel in the collection when it comes to Inka ruins that still exist in Peru. Not only is the city's architecture of incredible quality, it is also settled in a breathtaking location. When you first lay eye on the city, you will not believe what you are seeing and the magic of the city will captivate you in a heartbeat. For me, Machu Picchu is the most fascinating and inspirational place I have ever visited. |
First Peru Gallery Is Now Online
|
|
In December of last year we spent two weeks in Peru. Peru is an amazing country with breathtaking landscapes and a rich history. But it is also a poor country. This is the first gallery with pictures taken while we made our way across the country. Another gallery with pictures of Machu Picchu, the most famous of Peru's attractions, will follow soon. |
