It was a last minute idea, hiking in Katahdin in October can be iffy. In the history of us doing these treks we have had every weather state from freezing snow to bright sunshine, but it is always worth a shot as the hikes are not too long, so even in the rain, it is [...]

Here are a few of the best snapshots from the short trip. Iceland is simply amazing. There is no way else to describe it. The simple, empty, [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Wednesday, 8th of December 2010 at 04:43:59 PMJosh and I went on a quick trip up to Wine Country and stayed at the Hotel Healdsburg and ate at the Dry Creek Kitchen. The hotel was incredible and he and I both thought it deserves all the praise of hype. So many hotels are all intent and not follow through. The meal at [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Wednesday, 10th of March 2010 at 04:42:21 PMJosh took this photo of me waiting on the platform of the New Delhi Railway Station with all of our luggage as we learned that the train would be 5 hours late. I was warned this might happen and at this point in the vacation we were both more that used to things in [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Wednesday, 10th of March 2010 at 04:11:36 PMNathan not really awake on the train. We got up early again to catch a train. This one was a two person sleeper with no food. As you can see it is pretty roomy. We had a nice wake up ride. This is one of the corner towers of the Jahangiri Mahal in the [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Wednesday, 10th of March 2010 at 02:52:36 PMIf I recall this moment, I had been looking out the window at the people sleeping in the mud, the outdoor pit toilets, and the general state of how people live. I started to tear up at one point. It can be overwhelming how people live – the squalor and poverty. I wanted a [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Tuesday, 9th of March 2010 at 12:05:57 AMJosh and I started out our tour of Delhi by getting a cab to The Red Fort where we wandered around and acclimated ourselves to Delhi. A quick walk across the street landed us in the front of Jama Masjid one of the largest Mosques in Asia. The area the mosque was pretty filthy [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Wednesday, 27th of January 2010 at 11:05:08 PMIn about 36 hours I will leave for Bangalore, India. This will be my first trip to India and my first trip to Asia that isn’t the Middle East. I am very excited to be traveling to meet the folks that I work with each day at CTS, see some of Southern India, and then [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 9th of March 2008 at 01:32:27 AMCheck this out : the position on a photo I took in Israel last year in Google Earth. Zoom in pretty close and notice this road goes right into the Alpha Line of the UNDOF, then back. If you look very closely there are these immense rock piles along the road forcing an intense zig-zag.

Ah…La Isla De Encanto. ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 13th of May 2007 at 10:39:04 AM5479 Well, I am home. The last 12 hours in Tel Aviv were pretty amazing. We woke up after a night at TLV and found our way to lunch with Liana on Rothschild and then on to drinks and relaxing with Tomer @ Gavriel. Champagne and relaxing ends with a quick hail of a cab [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 13th of May 2007 at 06:31:16 AMThere are a whole set of quotes that I have from an old schooler that I knew. One of them, ‘Run Don’t Walk’, was a serious favorite. It came to mind today as I listened to this new CD I got – and you will note this is the first time I have written about [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Friday, 11th of May 2007 at 08:47:41 PM5509|100 We arrive back in Tel Aviv to do a hell of a lot of nothing. This the vacation part of the Vacation. After checking into the hotel, we go wander around the Camel Shuk, Sheinkin & and surrounding areas. This results in the purchase of a couple pairs of sneakers, some shirts, and various [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 6th of May 2007 at 02:14:06 PM5401|250 Our first day in Jerusalem was spent roaming around the Old City and the western areas. We walked a long way from our hotel to the Israeli Museum, only to find out it was closed. Yeah closed. I simply forgot it was Sunday. DUH! Thankfully the guys were not too irritated with me. We [...] ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 6th of May 2007 at 08:00:00 AM5299 Our arrival in Beersheva, the capitol of the Negev, was greeted with lunch at a restaurant that featured such delicacies as spinal cord on a skewer and a miniature dissonance over the value of 7$ worth of food. After a cup of coffee and being regaled with the gossipy details of the personal lives [...] |
