still catching up~ (June... only 3 months late!)

Visited MoHonk Mountain Housein June for my friend Matt's birthday- err a month late due to my crazy travel schedule (thanks guys for waiting for me!!).... the Lovely Brunch followed by wandering around the grounds... seeing lots of snakes~ a good time was had by all (except maybe the poor folks who were out on the late when it started POURing rain!)


Also... in June... during my trip out to Portland, my buddies and I were able to get ourselves to the International Rose Test Garden Which really was an amazing experience~ I never thought visiting with Roses could have been so rewarding! Seriously... the most beautiful/spectacular Roses ever!! and I learned something new that day- not all Roses smell like boo-boo-boo (a la OutKast) oh... and the water droplets... are from rain~


Also in June... while in Portland, we were able to get out to Multnomah Falls... which I think was more beautiful this time around... probably because I wasn't feeling sick, as I was the last time I was there~

Way back in May...

So... I'm going through my Flickr account and looking through my photos... realizing I never posted any of it here... so the next few posts will be my attempt to catch you up on my life... in photos~~

May... in Portland... my buddies and I visited the Japanese Garden after class one day... we paid like $8 each (with our student discount)... and it was an amazing evening~ really so beautiful!


Immediately following my "weekend" in Portland... I flew back into NY... only to fly out the same day... to Guatemala- to provide Acupuncture and other medical services to the Locals- living in the Mountain villages outside Antigua. We worked in some of the Best and Worst conditions I've ever visited in Central America. I personally had the opportunity to treat over 120 patients in the course of 24 hours of direct service. It was exhausting, but beyond rewarding~ we left Guatemala city- just before the Sink Hole occurred~
