Pyramids!!!!

Ah the Real City LIfe they say

Work Work Work and no play...JK

Cairo, Egypt

First off, its a ridiculously populated packed city. Just emagine when going through Japanese city, trash everywhere and buildings look rundown ready to collapse. IF you come here just one thing take a taxi ride. the roads have lines but there is no order, two cars fitting into one lane and the only best thing i could describes is salmon trying to run upstream. The museum was pretty cool, evertything that I learned in college, all the artifacts, art history was almost right in the museum just an overwhelming feeling, I got to see the king tut tomb, boy o boy its good to be the pharaoh just amazing, the quality the detail the pure amount of gold. just from walking in there my pups got tired. well there is so much to talk about but on thing is no mater how hard you try everyone will get the bug.

Rota Spain!!!!!!

Before we could get on the C-17 we had some maintenance delay do to loading, once we finally got bused out to the aircraft we all loaded happy for a straight shot to Spain. well after about 30 minutes in our flight one of the loadmaster noticed that we are missing a piece of the aircraft that is used to jack the C-17 about 20 pounds of metal. We just hope that it didn't it any thing important or someone.....We had to return back to Charleston and another delay of 3 and a half hours later. Well we made it and have enough time to hit the streets and beaches of beautiful Rota Spain. I think 4 days here would be great to bad we only get 14 hours.

Greatest Old Man Ever

Who's father could pick up a bike for a friend found on craigslist across the continent endure 45 minutes of useless ear bleeding from the seller, and can ship it for a nominal fee, ONLY MY DAD! Kevin can't wait to put streamers on the handlebars, attach a basket with a flower and baseball card to the spokes. Now the question is how many times can I get away with it.

Soccer showdown

We invited Tsuyoshi and Masumi and a couple from the Charleston Battery soccer team but unfortunately Spicer injured his foot so he was unable to attend, but his Fiance Tina came along. I gave a personal tour of the C-17 and my work. it was a great night, cooked some burgers on the grill and played a little Wii. we called it a night. it was very nice of them to come over.

Just some pictures of max

note: the ball is bouncing, The very bottom picture was early this summer because his hair is so short. You got to have a good tub pic right?

The Bug collection

The different bugs in SC

More and More IOP

So we have been spending almost every weekend at the beach and decided to by some beach gear and found this awesome beach tent that fits perfect with our rocking beach blanket ;). Haruka and I time ourselves to see how can fast we can set it up. our personal best is 8.35 seconds. thats filling sandbags and all. Its pretty much an all day event eat lunch play, have a drink, play, play and play some more until both Max and I get alittle sand rash, shower change and then hang out enjoying ourselves some more.

More Isle of the palms

Haruka hides in the tent like a hermit crab only to come out and tell Max not to wander far from the tent. She get worried that she will get to much sun. She takes naps, (while Max terrorize the beach) reads some books and is our local photographer. she does a great job from "Command Post". I think she just like taking pictures of my rock solid beach body. I am a 10 in South Carolina standards.
