I just got back from a fantastic trip to Costa Rica. Here are some photos from the trip, organized in 5 pages. That's this page.). Click on the links above or use the navigation buttons at the bottom of each page. This is the hotel we stayed in the first night. I went with two friends, Nadia and Virginie. We were all 3 kind of stunned to wake up in such a beautiful, strange place. Here Nadia tries to get her bearings. In a twist on the old aphorism, you can't see the trees for the forest. See what I mean?

An excursion up north. Nadia and I took a trip to Eastern Canada in October, 2004. We went to Québec and Ottawa. We went partly because there was a medical meeting Nadia wanted to go to, plus we just wanted to see the area. We did some hiking in and around the old walled city of Québec, founded in 1608 and amazingly well preserved. Today the city still looks like a little piece of Europe right here in America.

Notes from the Backpacker Trail. Would you do that? Was the most common response I got from people when I told them we were going to Vietnam for our honeymoon. Pictured at right - the Ngo Mon Gate to the Forbidden Purple City, The Citadel, Hue. What were we thinking? As I write this in the spring of 2004, I'm sure glad that we've put those ideas behind us. Here we see Lee and Nadia examining the 1500 year old ruins of the Cham civilization at My Son. (pronounced "mee-SOHN."). Will never happen again!

The Rincon Mountains in the Monsoon Season. Page 1 of 2. Here's the news for Saturday, July 23, 2011. Nadia and I decided to go for a walk in the western foothills of the Rincon Mountains. They're about a 20 minute drive from our house. It's a beautiful walk out in the wilderness. But you've got to be careful of the dangerous, thorny plants. Here Nadia demonstrates how not. To touch a Saguaro. We've been having some rains; the creosote plants were flowering like crazy. It had been a hot, dry hike.

Requiem for a Rattlesnake. Being a photo account of the postmortem exam of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Crotalus atrox. Nah, that's not a rattlesnake. That's Barry, my buddy for the last 20 years. He's got his own website. He came to visit me recently with his son, Christian, a fine young man who lives in Sweden with his mom in the winter and with his dad in Las Vegas in the summer. The meteorologist called, you've got your schedule backwards. We begin with a ventral midline incision, exposing the ...

Where does one begin to describe a trip to Japan, a place at once so different and yet so similar to the USA? The beginning," I heard Nadia comment drily in my inner ear. We started out by flying to sunny Hell Lay. Nadia is the guru of packing light. This is her entire traveling kit for 2 weeks in Japan, which included nice clothes in which to attend the annual meeting of the International Headache Society. As well as gear for hiking in the wilderness and general urban globetrotting. Like civilized citie...
