Trip to Anchorage

I spent ten days up in Anchorage painting our house and visiting family.
I did some hiking and went fishing once and enjoyed some good weather.

Possibly the ugliest bathroom ever.

While we didn't get any fish i caught a photo

of this small black bear on the Russian river.

Crash and Burn

Well, marathon #1 is in the bag. Didn't go very well but I'll keep up with the training and get it right next time. I'll post the splits and more details later. Here's a vid of me shuffling to the finish, nearly immobilized by a case of the cramptastics.

Check out the guy that crosses the finish at the end of the video. He was really excited about finishing. I like that. Also, enjoy the great music.

Vista Chinesa

Perched up in the Floresta da Tijuca, the Vista Chinesa gives you a pretty good view of Zona Sul of Rio. Great place to get away during the hot days since the forest is several degrees cooler and there are several little waterfalls scattered along the roadside.

Sugar Loaf in the background.

Corcovado.

I thought this was neat street art. Rua Jardim Botânico.

Straight from the Factory

Somethin's for sale...

Get your safes everybody. Never seen that before.
