Flash Back..

Its been really busy since I got back. So busy that I didn't have anytimre to update this blog.. and its truly not because I have been busy. Vancouver and Settle was a blast. Me and Hiroko explored both cities with some money and public transportation. Got to see the city a bit more from the local's perspective. The climb of Shuksan was great and I am going to let the picture do the story telling. I was glad to be able to talk to some of the climbers about God. I tagged my helmet with verses to draw attention to myself. This 2 weeks I've been in Big Bear on Communiversity's staff retreat. Put up a few FA's near Gray peak's trail head. This last week I've been hammering out the trips and logistics this year for all the trips Outdoor Adventures are doing. Well Let the pictures talk. .. peace.

Hiroko and her Mom. This is the day we arrived. I took them to San Pedro's Fisherman's Market. Where we ordered a crab, shrimps, and fish. It is a must if you haven't been.. loud Music.. the smell of ocean breeze and the noise of a fish market. Not to mention the freshest seafood there is.

IMG_3997
Hiroko's Mom and I at Laguna beach's Surf and Sand Resort. We had lunch at Splashes, the resorts restaurant. Nice weather with outside seating right on the beach. Food was okay.. but the view and beach side seating makes it well worth the visit.
