Doce market

We went to the doce market with Sarah this morning. A lot of great food to taste !!!

This maple syrup is so good

I took this picture so we can try to make our own, it's delicious : grilled pineapples, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, and that pepper.

Kits to make your own diner

Beautiful denim aprons

And these delicious pies

I got this mini Lemon/Ginger pie, such a great idea !

The French way of life.

St Jean de Luz.........the Art of Shopping...!!
How to live the "American dream"without travelling too far...!!!
We just missed the"California girls"...........
but my father managed to have an interesting date with a local girl.......
Behind the mask:Hugh Hefner and his new" girl next door"..........."

Lake Erie

This can't be a lake ! It's an ocean !!!!

Huge waves !!

Tory, Trinity, Isaac, Owen, Jim, Phuong, Me Oanh....

And on the way back....

Back to the seventies.

Hey,I've already seen that guy during the Woodstock years !!!
The same dirty colors,...the same outlaw faces..."Hey my,my, Rock and roll will never die!!.."
He's the last real survivor of the famous band !!
He could also have done a talented duet career with Paul Simon..............
but he was more interested about sex-experience with a mature cougar woman........
The legend said that he wrote :"Mrs Robinson"for Nhu Ha but he sold this smash hit to Paul Simon.........He's my guitar hero.!!!

Fun in the sun

It's done !!

We also made that sign, because people don't seem to understand what "recycling" means !
Duh !!

road trip - summer 2011

which one do you think is isaac? he's in the red shirt (not the guy in the net though)

owen looks so happy in this picture

1734 miles

Columbus -> Atlanta -> Destin, FL -> Nashville, TN -> Columbus

I tried to load more pictures but it kept crashing my computer. sorry! The beaches in Destin, FL were so white and soft. The water was so green. Part of the area is very touristy (like Myrtle Beach), but if you go the other direction, there are beach houses. I think we should all go there next summer.

Instant progress !!!
