August Update

Apologies for the dry spell here... Jessica's been quite busy with a number of things. I don't have much excuse other than laziness.

It's not been a particularly exciting summer. The condo has been livable so far... it's nice living in a brand new place. I suppose it's nice living next to the ocean, although the east coast weather has been awful as usual (even a little bit worse than usual, I think), so there hasn't been much opportunity to really enjoy it.

I'm just going to post some pictures from the summer so far. These are in no particular order... part of the reason I haven't been posting much here lately is because the Google Blogger service we use to create this site is fairly awkward to use when it comes to uploading and arranging photos. It also has the disadvantage of being blocked by the government in China, so Jessica's mom and dad can't see any of this. For these reasons, we should probably switch to another service, but that would be a bit of a project.

Mt. Mondanock in southern NH:

A couple of pictures of the trip we made to N.Y. in May (the one with Jessica in the stairway is at the main public library in NYC):


The Revere Beach sand sculpting contest, which was a few weeks ago and draws professional sculptors from all over the world:

Some random pictures from the beach:

The Bunker Hill monument that we visited (and climbed to the top of) on 4th of July.

 The "Bridge of Flowers" 10k race that Jessica ran in last weekend in western MA. 

Some scenes from the "bridge of flowers" itself:

My garden on the porch, which hasn't been doing too badly considering the lack of sun we've had this year.
