Big, Friendly Austin, Texas

It figures that in Austin, Texas, even the graffiti is big and friendly.

Edited on January 11, 2003 to add:
Wow, little did I know that this picture above was the soon-to-be-famous Frog Mural!

Capturing the unexpected

Walking back from a nice dessert (which had followed an enjoyable lengthy lunch and much good dancing outdoors), I was jokingly trying to take a photo of my friend Stephanie without looking... walking in front of her, and taking the photo from behind my back. As you can see, I did catch a bit of Stephanie in the photo, but also unexpectedly captured some of the trees which I walked past weekly and never noticed.

Strange how it sometimes takes a bit of randomness to highlight what we should already be seeing and appreciating.

Mystery photo

I'm curious to see how many folks know or can guess what this is.

HINT: You'll find the answer (and some other very interesting and fun photos) buried somewhere here or, if you're still stumped, you'll find a much bigger hint here.

Digital camera advice

I'm no stranger to digital cameras... having bought and used one for myself around 3 years ago, and also shopped for friends and family. I'm also shopping for a new one myself this week, since I'm tired of not having a camera after having my Olympus 3030z stolen in Estonia last summer :|

Since I'm in a digicam-shopping mood, I figured I'd share some advice. Feel free to chime in with additional tips via comments!

Lemur in Stockholm, Sweden

I took this photo in the summer of 2001 during my stay in Stockholm, Sweden. This particular lemur was literally just a few inches from me, and amusingly seemed not to mind the attention and the Olympus 3030z camera pointed at his face.

Colorful food in Brussels, Belgium

Food that is tempting to touch and taste that I discovered in one of the main squares of beautiful Brussels, Belgium during a visit in 1998.

Enjoying a sunny weekend in Rome

A few years ago, I got an internship in Germany, and -- eager to use my 3 month unlimited Eurail pass as much and as soon as possible -- I decided to take a weekend trip to Rome (why Rome? I don't recall, actually).

With none of my fellow interns willing to tag along with me, I braved my first big train trip alone. I managed to get frightfully lost there because I was stupid and cheap and relied upon a free "Map of Rome" that was sponsored by McDonald's of all places.

Parking, Europe-style

Gotta hand it to those direct Irish folk. There's certainly no ambiguity about THIS space.

And speaking of parking: Every time I return to Europe, I'm still both amused by and fascinated with the European style of parking. Given the narrow streets throughout much of Europe, people park with one side of their car up on the sidewalks... and though usually the curbs aren't too stepp, I've nonetheless gotten used to a *JOLT* right before parking.

In France -- or at least in Paris when I visit one of my friends -- there's also the "touchy feely" form of parallel parking. This involves repeatedly hitting the bumper of the car in front of you and in back of you until you get your car in perfectly with just a millimeter or two of space on either side.

Luckily, given the very long lunches and other breaks the French seem to take, there's likely no sense of urgency for folks to maneuver out of their parking spots, so I'm assuming that trapped Frenchies -- spotting their closed-in cars -- barely blink, and simply have another drink or cigarette or both. C'est la vie!

Candy man

This picture shows my crazy candy purchasing from Germany from Christmastime 2001, but this year was much the same... perhaps even worse. Over $80 worth of candy. Just don't tell mama, er, don't tell my dentist!

So WHY do I bring so much chocolate back from Europe twice yearly? That's easy!
