This is an incredibly romantic pix of Ellen and Portia on their wedding day in Aug 2008. They're soulmates: the intimacy, the love, the nothing will come between us as long as we are this connected. To find happiness in this lifetime with someone who cherishes you as much as you cherish them. The bond of love and commitment.
To re-cap: Kim and I have been dating almost two months. Our first date was on July 4th weekend, sharing it with EJ and Nikkis bbq. Our second date was at Moaning Cave rapelling. Our third date was at Oh My Godmother at the Zeum theater. Our 4th date was Mozart concert at Herbst Hall. Our fifth date was Lees baby shower, and Jaynies b-day pool party. Our sixth date after coming back from Costa Rica was going to Lake Tahoe for the day. then on Sat we went to Thai Lovers in San Jose. Spending 4 days together and being intimate.

End of August 2008

Well, the end of Summer is encroaching, and the kids (EJ) are starting school after Labor Day Weekend after returning from Hawaii. I also returned from my 10-day trip to Costa Rica, and posted my 421 pix on my webshots.com site. My first outside of the country with Yun and her family. It was at times relaxing and other times tense. Overall a good experience. I enjoy Yuns friendship and Lu, Crystal at times can be unbearable, but for most of the time, fun. The natives were kinda sneaky, over charging us ten times over. The food dramatically changed from restaurants to restaurants with holes in the wall being the best. The flea markets are where bargains can be made. The days start at 530am, (earlier than Vietnam) and end by 530pm. We visited Arenal volcano, puma reserves, lakes and reservoirs, and finished with Tamarindo Beach to go scuba diving. Not much to see, a few sharks, turtles, and rays. Spanish is the language of choice. They do not have an army and their source of income is tourism. I guess i am not impressed, but would like to explore other central American countries.
