Our new jobs...

So here are the places where Sarah and I will be working...well, at least headquartered. The top picture is of the Center for Urban Ecology where I will be based. The building has a green roof, is next to the Georgetown Reservoir, and is quite close to the Potomac River. Although the offices are located in this building, I will be doing mostly field work in parks throughout the National Capital Region. I took this picture from the Park Police helicopter in the Autumn of 2007.

The second picture features the Great Falls Tavern along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. This is one of the locations where Sarah will work as a Park Guide. She will lead hikes, answer questions at the visitor center, work on the historic boats that are pulled by mules, and will probably do a whole lot more. When she works on the boats, she will be dressed in period clothing. I took this picture in the Spring of 2005.

Mardi Gras 2009

New Orleans...proud to call it home.

Our Truck

We bought this truck in California and drove the hell out of it all the way across the U.S. from L.A. to Louisiana to South Carolina to Washington, DC. This was taken at some rest area in Arizona.

Hawaii

The top picture was taken by Sarah at Waipio Valley.

The second picture is of Kilauea...the volcano that is continuously erupting on the Big Island of Hawai'i. I took this picture from a little-bitty plane in which my brother-in-law, Nate, was taking a flying lesson.

Sydney One Last Time

We stopped in Sydney on our way back to the U.S. for a total of eleven hours. I had time to run outside, catch a train downtown, buy a DVD to watch in the airport, and snap a couple of pictures. Sydney is a really cool city.
