 Miss Tanzania

 The warthogs are really such a cool animal - I mean look at the mullet!

Burj Khalifa and Dubai part 2

This the Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world at 2716.5 feet. It hosts the Armani Hotel, residences, corporate offices and a 4 story gym. Outside it host a water park as you can see from the photo below. 

 

The view below is from the observation deck at 124th story. The elevator went up at 10 meters per second. 

 

 Views from the top - looks like Vegas!

 The water fountains at ground level.

 Jumeriah Mosque

 The Burj Khalifa during the daytime - just a little smog and humid as it was 105-10 with about 100% humidity.

Inside the Dubai Mall

Hey Look - in case you had a fascination and not wanting to leave the comforts of America - there is Fridays (and others such as Starbucks).

Dubai Part 1

 

 After a 15 hour flight from Seattle to Dubai, Krissa and I hit the sack for the night. We got up early and made our way to Dubai Creek and took an abra (old boat) the souks.

 This is Dubai - old and new. Abra and jet boat.

Da Grizzly Bear

I had the opportunity to spend 3 summers amongst these amazing beasts in Katmai National Park, Alaska. This bear is captive and is only 2 years old. She already weighs almost 500lbs.

Latest and Greatest Adventures

The photos below reflect an epic week of biking and hiking. I have truly been pleased with the area that I live in lately. I guess I kind of forgot how fun it was to get up high on a mountain top. I feel like the last week has been filled with fresh air and adventures.
