This is an account from 2012 (approximately), the first time I visited the Waugh street bridge was with my parents on our way to Austin for my a family wedding. Needless to say, the experience was long, but necessary. We drove for about 2 days, and spent about a week in the states overall. We left Canada from the border of Buffalo, New York. We were travelling with a family car, sedan. nothing breath-taking, but quite relaxing and comfortable for the kind of drive we were doing. Nearly a decade later, my family (now including my wife) returned, only this time we were arriving in Austin to visit my Uncle and Aunt after the birth of their first son (figure 1and 2). This was my wife's first time visitng the United States. (Figure 1, Sam, Carm and Lily) (Figure 2, Carm and Lily) All the trip and details aside, I wanted to take a moment to recognize the nature of this place in Austin Texas. This particular bat colony is one of the biggest in North America, (see included images fo...
Jan 02/2017 Carmelo Bono Dalian, Liaoning The weekend may have began with hockey but it ended with the great news of a fellow Dragon family (Richard and Lana Hall) whose daughter (Anna Jessie Shey Hall, 8lbs 30oz; 51cm) was brought into the world as a New Years baby. The news was awaited all weekend as the Dragons and their fans were travelling to Anshan for a game and Liaoyang for a game. Anshan was a trip in itself, (the third largest city in Liaoning) and had a lot to offer that visitors on this trip are eager to discover. Fans and Dragons had done one of the things that not many tourists and travelers have the opportunity to do in Anshan-play hockey. The game was three 20 min periods and was played on a well built river rink. Among the goals scored, goal tending for the dragons was Lanthier and Andrew Henderson. Jordan Gray (usual goalie) wanted time on the open ice to refine his skills while a fan laced up and hit the ice. Welcoming the potentia...
Greetings! If there is nothing else you can think of doing ANYWHERE in China, there is ALWAYS eating. Yes, eating. Consider this time you have here in this hige country that is full of ethnic diversity as a great time to put on some weight with many opportunities to either walk it out or sweat it out! Today, we are revisiting a culinary experience I had with my family (my toddler son and wife-who is Chinese). We went out to Beijing Lu, although I have been a couple times, I agreed that on this particular weekend I could alright with going back in the company of my family-I wasn't really a big fan of "Beijing Lu", too rich and crowded for me. I certainly prefer a BBQ area, quiet(-ish)..for drunks, maybe a little dirty, or just generally not around so many people who are staring at my son and I/ttaking pictures etc. Not that I'd prefer to take my son to a place like that, but in generalities, I am not one for the whole crowded restuarant scene. I like good food, and s...
