      • St Johns Harbor
        05/27/11


        The entrance to St Johns Harbor Newfoundland is very picturesque.

      • Stair Master 3000
        05/27/11


        At signal hill we hiked down to the shore on the north entrance of St Johns Harbor. Nicci points out how many steps we climbed down. This was about halfway to the end, and then we had to walk back up!

      • Pot Of Gold
        05/27/11


        A boat leaves St Johns Harbor Newfoundland underneath a rainbow. I couldnt get the pot of gold before the rainbow disappeared.

        05/27/11


        And after a week of hard work we get to celebrate with a couple of brews at the Yellow Belly Brewery!

      • George Street
        05/26/11


        George street is one of the most famous areas of St Johns Newfoundland. It contains the highest density of bars in Canada. We walked through there just after eating at the Bagel Cafe so we were too full to sample any of the beers or food they had to offer.

      • Potato Bake
        05/26/11


        And back to the Bagel Cafe we go! This time I had a potato bake. What is a potato bake? Fried potatoes, cheese, ham, and peppers. Kind of like an omelet but with fried potato chunks instead of eggs. Very good place to eat in St Johns Newfoundland.

      • Cape Spear Newfoundland
        05/26/11


        Nicci and I pose for a picture at the eastern most point in north america, Cape Spear. It was about a 20 minute cab ride from St Johns. Apparently there was a huge whale swimming around but we didnt notice it. Of course, if you believe that Greenland is part of north america, there is

      • The Keg
        05/25/11


        The Keg is a chain restaurant in Canada. This one happens to be in St Johns Newfoundland. Nice place good eats, but way too expensive for what you get. I had a prime rib and a slice of cheesecake to go!

      • Classic Cafe East St Johns Newfoundland
        05/25/11


        We ate dinner at the Classic Cafe East. Pretty good place with a good view of the water. I would go back there again!

      • Memorial University St John's Newfoundland
        05/24/11


        And this is the whole reason why we flew to the other side of the continent. I am presenting at the Graphics Interface conference being held here at Memorial University. Its a pretty nice campus with this building looking the coolest!

      • Castle
        05/24/11


        This is the castle that sits on top of Signal Hill St John's Newfoundland. I dont remember what its called.

      • Cows Head
        05/24/11


        All of the "suites" in the Battery Hotel have their own name. We stayed in the Cows Head

      • The Battery Hotel
        05/24/11


        We are staying at the battery hotel in St Johns, Newfoundland. The pictures on their website make this place to be some kind of super nice resort. Our room was kind of a dump. But it was OK. The biggest problem was the room temp. It was 30 degrees outside, but 80 degrees inside and

      • Bagel Cafe St Johns
        05/24/11


        For breakfast, we stopped of at the Bagel Cafe! Great place. I had the canadian omelete. It has ham, bacon and cheese. Still not sure if the ham was considered bacon because of canadaian bacon...

      • St John's Newfoundland
        05/24/11


        We arrived at St Johns Newfoundland yesterday. I love the colors of all the houses and buildings!

      • Trip To Virginia City
        05/15/11


        Beautiful views all the way to Virginia City, NV. Nice on the way there, but it snowed on the way back! Gotta love the weather this time of year!

      • Homefront Finished
        05/09/11

        Finished homefront today.. Game was OK. I like the concept of the plot, but it fell flat in several areas.. The helicopter level just sucked. The controls were terrible. The ending was a little lame. But outside of those it was a fun game. I liked the checkpoint system where it was saved

      • Sunken Food Boat
        05/01/11


        And somewhere on Winnemucca Lake lies this. An old hot dog boat. This boat used to float around selling hot dogs to all the fisherman, however when the lake dried up it got stuck out there. If you look close you can see a trailer in front of it. Someone tried to haul this piece of hi

      • Rockin River Race
        05/01/11


        Today we finished our first race. A 10K. I hope to improve on my time!

      • Winnemucca Lake
        05/01/11


        This "lake" located just to east of Pyramid Lake in Nevada used to be a great place to fish and enjoy the summer days. And then, in the 1930's, the rivers running into the lake were re-directed and the lake completely dried up!

      • Red Ant
        05/01/11


        And Just after the Jack Rabbit went away, I found this red ant colony. They were pretty fun to watch. Millions of them were on the ground and they all knew where home base was

      • Jack Rabbit
        05/01/11


        I think this is a Jack Rabbit. He caught my eye and I just got this one shot off before he disappeared into the background
