8.3.07: Following the brief trip to Telluride, my parents and I met my sister in Atlanta and flew to Managua, Nicaragua. Nicaragua is filled with natural beauty and secluded ocean-side views. The natives, while primarily impoverished and shaken from the years of political turmoil, are very peaceful. The primary focus of the trip was the wedding between a Frenchman's son and a Nicaraguan lady, which turned out to be the most lavish wedding I think I shall ever experience. The pictures of the trip tell it all.

8.3.07: A few weeks ago, my family was offered seats on the private jet of Neil Armstrong -- yes the astronaut -- to Telluride, Colorado. We gladdly accepted the offer and made it to Telluride extremely easily, comfortbly avoiding the hassles of airport security and a trip to CVG. The week was spent doing the usual activities: hiking, rock climbing, exploring, etc. Highlights include navigating off trail using only a map from Alta Lakes, up and over Bald Mountain, down the ski mountain, and back into town.
