Kim and I went to San Francisco for a few days. It turns out Kim’s Birthday fell on Fleet Week this year, so in addition to touring a cool city we got to watch some airshows, too!
The panorama shot below was taken from Alcatraz Island. (Click for larger)

Kim, Willbob and I went to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica on vacation. We stayed in a lovely house in the jungle outside of town.
My pictures are below. You can also check out Kim’s photos on her Picasa Album

I took Kim to New York City for her birthday this year. We stayed in an inexpensive hole-in-the-wall (read: cash only, up front) hotel in the East Village. It was a lot of fun!
Here’s my photos from the trip:

I went back through my photos of Japan and came up with these unpublished ones. Beyond these I have some more from my last day and one other Kyoto temple that I never posted, so I might do yet another posting later on.
Enjoy!
